Morphology

Frenchie = French (semi-transparent) = French + ie

The form is transparently built from 'French' with an informal suffix, but whether it refers to a French Bulldog or a French person is conventional and context-dependent.

Etymology

Frenchie comes from French plus the friendly ending -ie, an ending that makes a word sound 'small' or 'cute' (like doggie or selfie); because the breed comes from France and is small, people call the French Bulldog a Frenchie, and the same short name is sometimes used for a French person.
