"Scottish Forenames" - Donald Whyte, FGH, FSG
Notes:

Scottish, from the surname, of uncertain Norman French origin, possibly from the location name Freseliers in the Anjou region of France.

The 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire shows about a quarter of the usage of the forename Fraser to be female; however the short form Fras is entirely male.
