Barbarossa would make sense given that the younger and more successful of the brothers that were called "Red Beard" by Western Europeans was made Admiral for his contributions to making the Ottoman Empire a major naval power in Europe during the sixteenth century.

Fun fact: Both of the men who would be called "Barbarossa" were born on the what-is-now-Greek island of Lesbos.
