I used to have a (high-ranking and well-educated) foreign colleague who used to think that the “Main” indeed signified that this was the bigger and more significant of multiple Frankfurts.
I honestly can’t blame him, it was a deceptivley plausible misconception.

I mean it is the bigger and more significant of multiple Frankfurts, so it kinda fits
There is another Frankfurt. It’s lies on the river Oder. The same word for other.
So there is Frankfurt Main and Frankfurt Other.
For people learning German: “oder” means “or” “andere/r/s” means “other”.
I like the joke though
Only one has that true Frankfurt odor
