The naval rank of Admiral actually comes from the Arab title of Amir al Bahr, which meant prince of the sea.    The Sicilians first copied it from the Arabs, the Genoese then copied the  Genoese but dropped the ending to make it Amiral,  The french then copied ifrom Genoese during the crusades, and from there it spread to the rest of europe.
