In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.
The name 'Frances' is usually the name of a female.
The corresponding name for a male is 'Francis'.
The most common spelling for a surname is 'Francis'.
Note: This is only a convention since the names originate from languages that do have masculine and feminine nouns (for example Francesca and Francisco). It's the option of the parents naming a child to be conventional or not.
