hybrid identity
Blended cultural self
Hybrid identity describes a sense of self formed from two or more distinct cultural, ethnic, national, or social backgrounds.
The term appears in discussions of immigration, mixed heritage, and globalization, where individuals navigate between different worlds without belonging fully to any single one: Growing up between two countries gave her a hybrid identity.
The concept emphasizes that identity need not be singular or fixed—it can be a fluid blend of influences.
