Meaning of this name is unknown.
Paul Freeborough says: “The Anglo-Saxons had a system by which the members of a “tithing”, i.e. a tenth of a “hundred”, were mutual sureties for each other’s behaviour. This system was called frithborh. It is compounded from “frith”, peace, and “borh”, pledge, surety. The first word is Common Teutonic, the second is related to our verb to borrow, which originally meant to take on security and also has Teutonic cognates. Later forms are “fridborg”, “friborg”. The Normans took over this institution, but mistook the first element for “free” and rendered it by “frankpledge”, from Old Fr. “franc1”, free, and “pleige”, pledge. The English form survives in the surname Freeborough. (Similar surnames are Borrow, Shurety and Mainprice, all three of almost identical meaning). Both the English and French words were used of individuals as well as of community, taking more or less the sense of constable. The Oxford Dictionary does not find “frankpledge” in this sense before the 16th century; Robert le francplege is in Archbishop Gray’s Register for the year 1237."
