"Frangi" is the Arabic word for "Frank," referring to the people of France. This was a European nation that figured prominently in the Crusades. In a similar way, many Native Americans called all white men "Bostons."
There's a very similar word, Ferengi or Firangi, which means "stranger" in several of the languages of India and asfar east as the Malay Peninsula.
The use of a word meaning "stranger" is fairly common. The Mexican word, "Gringo" actually means "Greek" as "Greek" was generally used for stranger in Latin-based languages. The people of the British Isles called "Welsh" -- they call themselves Cymry -- have that from the Saxon word, "Wellas" (again, "strangers.")
