It'd be cool if this is why his name was Francis Ford Coppola, but disappointingly he's named after the car company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Ford_Coppola#Early_life_and_education

Francis Ford (mysterious older brother of John Ford) loved mixing his real life into his films. In this jewel thief caper (1913, 1917 reissue), the detectives caught him by matching his ring to his monographed cane. Ford's grandson has the ring.
