Best Answer


The word "zouave" comes from an Arabic word. The Zouave was a member of a French infantry unit originally composed of Algerians wearing a brilliant uniform and conducting a quick spirited drill. This uniform became very popular in the US before the Civil War and many state militia troops adopted this uniform and name. They typically wore baggy pants and were usually very colorful.


Zouave rifle was a short barrel rifle that was adopted by the Zouave troops. These rifles had a longer blade bayonet as compared to the standard rifle bayonet in order to make up for the shorter gun.
