Since the name "Francia Orientalis" had disappeared, there arose the habit to refer to "Francia Occidentalis" as "Francia" only, from which the word France is derived. The French state has been in continuous existence since 843 (except for a brief interruption in 885–887), with an unbroken line of heads of states since the first king of "Francia Occidentalis" (Charles the Bald) to the current president of the French Republic (Emmanuel Macron). Notably, in German, France is still called "Frankreich", which literally means ""Reich" (empire) of the Franks". In order to distinguish it from the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne, France is called "Frankreich", while the Frankish Empire is called "Frankenreich".
