Yes, genetically and linguistically the Germanic rulers haven't tipped the scale to their side in France. But OTOH the name "France" is unequivocally Frankish

Yes, genetically and linguistically the Germanic rulers haven't tipped the scale to their side in France.
But OTOH the name "France" is unequivocally Frankish (Germanic) and thus not something that Obelix, a Gaul from ~2070 years, ago would identify with.
