Isn't it short for french-cut fried potatoes and had nothing to do with France at all?
Well, France developed the cut. No?
Eh, they just liked it a lot. But they definitely popularized it and detailed usages of it in books. They didn't invent "cut it long and thin" though, since that's just basic knife work whose origin is lost to time.
