Venezuelanborn

Venezuelan-born is a descriptive term used to indicate that a person was born in Venezuela. It is commonly employed in biographical and genealogical writing to specify place of birth, and is often hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun, as in “a Venezuelan-born author.”

The designation focuses on birthplace rather than current nationality. Being Venezuelan-born does not automatically determine a person’s citizenship, as individuals may acquire another nationality through naturalization, dual citizenship arrangements, or residency in another country. Conversely, someone born outside Venezuela can become Venezuelan by birth if applicable laws or circumstances grant citizenship later in life. Thus, Venezuelan-born describes origin, not necessarily identity or citizenship.

Venezuela comprises 23 states and the Capital District, and those born there reflect the country’s diverse cultural and ethnic heritage. The Venezuelan-born population has contributed to diaspora communities across the Americas and Europe, influencing fields such as literature, music, science, and sports.

In encyclopedic contexts, phrases like “born in Venezuela” or “Venezuelan-born” provide precise birthplace information within biographies and demographic descriptions, helping to distinguish origin within a broader discussion of nationality and identity.
