blended heritage
Combined cultural roots
Blended heritage describes ancestry from multiple ethnic, cultural, or racial backgrounds.
The term emphasizes the mixing of traditions rather than choosing one identity over another: Growing up with a blended heritage, she celebrated both Lunar New Year and Christmas.
It appears in discussions of identity, particularly for children of mixed marriages or multicultural families.
