Autochthonous  (AUTOCHTHONOUS)


Individuals born in the territory in which they live are called natives1 of that territory. If their ancestors have lived there for a long time they are called autochthonous2, indigenous2 or aboriginal2 inhabitants; the last term is often reserved for primitive peoples. Statistics frequently distinguish between native-born3 and foreign-born4 individuals.

  • 1. The term "native" is also used occasionally to denote a person of non-European descent born in a subject territory.
  • 2. Aboriginal inhabitants are sometimes called aborigines.
