Hispanic heritage
Spanish-speaking cultural roots
Hispanic heritage refers to the cultural legacy, traditions, and history shared by people of Spanish-speaking origin or ancestry—particularly those from Latin America, Spain, and the Caribbean.
The term appears most often in institutional contexts: Hispanic Heritage Month runs mid-September to mid-October in the United States, celebrating contributions of Hispanic Americans.
Heritage here encompasses language, customs, food, music, and family traditions passed across generations.
