It is often used in English-speaking naval contexts, particularly in the Royal Navy and among naval communities, to denote a sailor or crew member. The usage reflects the influence of French naval terminology on maritime practices and language. Over time, "matelot" has become a colloquial term for men in the navy, emphasizing camaraderie and shared experiences among sailors.
