Saleebiyyoon, Faranjah, kuffar, or -simply- Ingleez
Hello James,
Saleebiyyoon (which could also be Saleebiyyeen, depending on the form, whether it's subjectic=ve or objective), literally: those of the Cross.
Faranjah (or Ifranj), means Europeans, foreigners.
Kuffar means infidels, unbelievers, atheists.
(If you want specific meanings/contexts, do not hesitate to ask: either her on proZ, or to my e-mail ([email protected]).

Al-Ferinjah
The above was used as a collective noun for the whole race.
Again this word was used for this term as in "the frankish race".
There was no distinction between where they came from. They all represented the same people from the same collective source.
