Frantiska is Czech, Slovak in Origin.
Frantiska is the diacritic-free form of Czech and Slovak Františka, the feminine of František, ultimately from the medieval Latin Franciscus “a Frank, a Frenchman,” itself linked to the Germanic frank “free.” As a given name it conveys the senses “Frenchwoman” and, by association, “free one.” In Czech it is pronounced roughly frahn-TEE-shkah; the simplified spelling Frantiska often appears in international contexts.
Used in the Czech lands and Slovakia since at least the early modern period, the name spread with devotion to St. Francis of Assisi and remained popular through the 19th-century national revival and early 20th century, now read as classic rather than fashionable. Common short forms include Fany and Fanka. Close variants and cognates are Františka (Czech/Slovak), Franciszka (Polish), Franziska (German), Franciska (Hungarian), Francesca (Italian), Francisca (Spanish/Portuguese), Françoise (French), and Frances (English). Related masculine forms include František and Francis.
