==Name== The older name of the settlement was attested in written sources in 1403–04 as in der Lak (and as in Lokch in 1415–23 and zu Lakg in 1464). The name of the settlement was changed from Loka ob Tesnici to Frankolovo in 1955. The name Frankolovo was variously attested in 1763–87 as Frankole, Francole, and Franole. It is derived from Frank, the name of a district head mentioned in a 1718 rent-roll, and is probably of secondary derivation, ultimately based on a name such as *Frankova vas 'Frank's village'.
