trueborn
Born of wedlock
Trueborn means genuinely or legitimately born to a particular status, lineage, or identity—not adopted, naturalized, or acquired later.
A trueborn citizen holds citizenship by birth rather than naturalization.
A trueborn heir descends directly from the family line.
The word often carries connotations of authenticity or purity of heritage: a trueborn Texan, a trueborn aristocrat.
