Saints Name in Hungary

Hungarian Feminine Names by Walraven van Nijmegen says: "Most given names in medieval and Renaissance Hungary are variants of Christian names common throughout Europe, though there are also names of Latin, German, and Slavic origin." https://heraldry.sca.org/names/magfem2.html

According to "Religion in Hungary" on Wikipedia "The majority of Hungarians became Christian in the 11th century. Hungary's first king, Saint Stephen I, took up Western Christianity, although his mother Sarolt was baptized into Eastern Christianity. Hungary remained predominantly Catholic until the 16th century, when the Reformation took place and, as a result, first Lutheranism and then soon afterwards Calvinism became the religion of almost the entire population. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Hungary

Saint Frances of Rome, Italian Santa Francesca Romana, (born 1384, Rome [Italy]—died March 9, 1440, Rome; canonized 1608 - so unfortunately out-of-period.

Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: San Francesco d'Assisi, Latin: Sanctus Franciscus Assisiensis), born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, informally named as Francesco (1181/1182 – 3 October 1226),[2] was an Italian Catholic friar, deacon and preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women's Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land. Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.[3] Pope Gregory IX canonized Francis on 16 July 1228. Determined to bring the Gospel to all peoples of the World, Francis sought on several occasions to take his message out of Italy... By this time, the growing Order of friars was divided into provinces and groups were sent to France, Germany, Hungary [date?], and Spain and to the East. Upon receiving a report of the martyrdom of five brothers in Morocco, Francis returned to Italy via Venice...

Indeed, Hungarian Personal Names of the 16th Century by Walraven van Nijmegen documents the masculine name <Franciscus> to 1574. https://heraldry.sca.org/names/hungarian/

In the August 2013 Cover Letter - Juliana de Luna notes on resources for Hungarian names: "a name might be recorded in vernacular form as ...Nagy Miklos and in Latinized form as ...Michael Nagy. ...we allow the registration of Hungarian names in either order. In Latinized names, the given names are Latinized, but bynames are often identical to the vernacular forms. This is even true for patronymic bynames..." https://heraldry.sca.org/names/resources/hungarian.html

So St. Francis of Assisi was clearly venerated in Hungary in SCA period and was therefore in the naming pool for a Christian given names, certainly the Latin feminine of Franciscus documented to 1574 above, i.e. Francisca, and it's plausible spelling variants.
