Most of them are straightforward enough, since they are borrowings from either French of Italian or one influenced by the other imported by the Nomans. Melechi, etc. is the title for the secular head of the Muslim community and equivalent to a duke. Mayor is the odd one since it is derived from the Punic term "sufetes" or judges of which two headed the civil government of the city of Carthage *here*.
