What does Arab American mean? Arab Americans are people who live in the United States and are of Arab descent. Arab is a cultural and linguistic term. It is not a racial term and does not refer to people based solely on country of origin.

What these diverse countries share most in common is the Arabic language. -New York Public Library Website
