Funny, in french we call it a “fou” which means crazy but really it relates to a “fou du roi” which is a court jester.

Couldn’t care less about changing the name of the thing, but just an observation.
It wasn’t always called that, Europe created it’s own names “king”, “queen”, etc, to make it relatable for its people.
And btw this is only in english, as you’ve seen in this thread, in different languages they’re called differently.
Edit: Portugal also, first originated in France, which then changed it to jester, and then England.,
In spanish it’s “Alfil” which means nothing, it’s just the same word as the arabs used which meant “elephant”.
