ArchivesThe name Fron (m)
In Germany I see some recent occurrences of the name Fron for boys, see, e.g., https://blog.beliebte-vornamen.de/2022/03/fuellhorn-b-f/
The name may be borne by children of recent immigrants (candidate source language would include Albanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian or Romanian) or inspired by some pop cultural source. At the moment, it is a total puzzle to me, an looking at the names Frona and Fronia in the database does not give me a real idea. It is probably not a native German name because of the association with the German word Fronarbeit or Frondienst "socage; corvée; forced labour".
Any ideas on the whereabouts of Fron?
EDIT: Maybe Albanian (or more specifically, Kosovarian), I found an Albanian namesake here https://balkaninsight.com/author/fron-nahzi/ and there is also a destillery named "Fron" in Kosovo.
