Well, the word French itself traces back to the Franks, who were ethnically speaking a Germanic people. The Franks in what is now west Germany, the Netherlands and the Flanders continued to speak Frankish while the ones in what is now northern France and Walloonie spoke Latin.
Despite the Germanic name French is undoubtedly a Latin/Romance language. This is a different question to “the French”, who are a unique mixture of Latin, Germanic and Celtic peoples. My perception as an outsider is that they're halfway between the Germanic and the Latin worlds, not just on the map but in their culture, cuisine, politics and beliefs. -- Joel Thomas
