American is a nationality label for people who hold citizenship in the United States of America. Nationality is not the same as ethnicity. A person can be American by nationality while identifying with any ethnic, cultural, or ancestral heritage, since US citizenship is held by people of backgrounds from every part of the world.
The label says nothing about where a person was born; US citizenship can be acquired by birth on US soil, by birth abroad to a US citizen parent, or through naturalization. Terms such as African American or Asian American are separate ethnicity labels that describe cultural and ancestral heritage, not citizenship status, and should not be confused with the nationality label American.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between American nationality and American ethnicity?
Nationality refers to legal citizenship in the United States. Ethnicity describes shared cultural, ancestral, or racial heritage. A person of any ethnic background can hold American nationality, and people who share American nationality do not necessarily share the same ethnicity.
What is the difference between American and US-born?
American most commonly refers to nationality or citizenship, which can be held by people born in the United States or by those who acquired citizenship through naturalization or by birth abroad to a US citizen parent. US-born refers specifically to place of birth and does not by itself indicate citizenship status.
Can someone be American and also have another nationality?
Yes. The United States permits dual citizenship in most circumstances, so a person can hold American citizenship alongside the nationality of another country at the same time.
