and yes it's spelled differently from Germanys one

That's because it's not named after the German one. It's named after "Frank's Ford" which is part of a creek in the area.

Some people say it's because there is a surprisingly large German population in the area, but it was already called Frankfort by the late 1700s when the large influx of German immigrants really started.

Who really knows haha
