The Spanish language has many words that come from Arabic, they usually begin with the words "al", for example almohada (pillow), alcohol, algebra, algoritmo (algorithm), almacen (storage), alfiler (pin).
Alfil means "the Elephant" in arabic.
But chess players spanish do not identify the piece "álfil" with nothing, not identified with the elephants, or with fou french, or the bishop english, for us it is simply a piece of chess.
