In the 16th century, the word "colonel" to refer to a military commander was originally spelled "coronel," as borrowed from Middle French. English spelling wasn't standardized at the time, which meant that some people used "colonel" or "colonnel" instead, which were both based on the Italian military rank "colonnello."
