A lebanese person originates from the state of Lebanon. Although of Arabic character, the lebanese people have been largely influenced by european culture as Lebanon was once a colony of France. The lebanese people are diverse in religions and cultures, making up of various christian and islamic strands, its plurality makes it a very unique country of the middle east. The lebanese people are a peaceful people, but foreign intervention by the Arab Israeli conflict was one of the leading causes of the civil war between various christian and muslim militias. This steretype of lebanese as violent is a result of the media's attention on lebanese gangs and crimes commited by lebanese people. This stereotype is far from the truth!
What many people do not understand is that Lebanese people have made a huge impact worldwide. A list of renowned lebanese people include:
- Ralph Nader (ran for president of the USA, consumer rights advocate)
- Carlos Helu (Third richest man in the world)
- Shakira ( Singer, Half lebanese half latino)
- Steve Bracks (premier of victoria)
- Marie Bashir (governor general of New South wales)
- Joe Hashim (World Poker Champion)

A group of people who originate from the eastern Mediterranean country of Lebanon, which constitutes part of the Levant. The majority of Lebanese are of Phoenician heritage. The Phoenician ancestors of the Lebanese are also the prominent genotype of a large portion of the Mediterranean basin including large portions of Italy, Greece, Malta extending all the way to Cornwall in Wales (UK).
There are 19 different religious sects in Lebanon, a country of less than 4 million. Physically, Lebanese tend to be fair skinned, with either brown, green or blue eyes and dark brown, brown, sandy, or red hair. Blond blue-eyed Lebanese comprise approximately 10-15% of the population as many Lebanese carry characteristics of Crusader invaders from Northern and Central Europe.
There are 4 times as many Lebanese outside of Lebanon as there are in the country itself. Nine million reside in Brazil alone and this diaspora constitutes 25% of Brazil's parliament.
The Lebanese diaspora has been immensely successful in politics, business, entertainment and academia (with several Nobel Laureates of Lebanese Background). Some of the wealthiest men/families in the world are of Lebanese Ancestry.
