About Frisco
The name "Frisco" is a colloquial term used to refer to the city of San Francisco in California. It is derived from the Spanish word "Francisco," which is the name of the city's patron saint, Saint Francis of Assisi.

While some locals embrace the term, others consider it derogatory and prefer to use the city's full name or simply "SF."
