[Opinions] Re: Fra
I'd assume it was an abbreviation of Frater.

I've never heard of Frater as a first name, but I can see that there are some listed on Wikipedia. I wouldn't have thought of it, but I guess that could also be a possibility.

Sorry, should have put that better - I meant Frater as in Brother as in monks. It's often abbreviated to Fra. So Fra. Joseph, or whatever.

Oh, that makes more sense now! I must've read your post the wrong way. Obviously, I have only ever heard them be called Friars. I thought Fra might be in a different language or a lesser-used form of the title. I feel silly now.
