Eurasiann.adj.

Brit.

/jᵿˈreɪʒn/,

/jᵿˈreɪʃn/, U.S.

/jəˈreɪʒən/,

/jʊˈreɪʒən/

Origin: From proper names, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper names Europe , Asia , -an suffix.

Etymology: < Eur- (in the name of Europe: see Europe n.) + the name of Asia (see Asian n. and adj.) + -an suffix. Compare later Europasian n., Europasian adj., Eurasiatic n., Eurasiatic adj.With sense A. 2 compare Eurasianist n. and the Russian form cited at that entry. In senses B. 2a and B. 2b largely after Eurasia, a name given to the contiguous land mass consisting of the continents of Europe and Asia (1867 or earlier; attributed to T. H. Huxley). The coinage of the term Eurasia , or a similar formation in another European language, is sometimes mistakenly attributed to the German geographer Karl Gustav Reuschle or the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess. Reuschle's Handbuch der Geographie (1858–9) only refers to the Doppelerdtheil Asien–Europa , literally ‘double continent Asia–Europe’, while Suess ( Das Antlitz der Erde (1885)) used German Eurasien , but was unaware of earlier currency in English. With sense B. 3 compare Russian evrazijskij (1921 in this sense).

A. n.

1. A person of mixed European and Asian descent.Originally denoting a person of mixed European (esp. British) and Indian parentage or descent (cf. Anglo-Indian n. 2, East Indian adj. 3), but now (in non-historical use) chiefly denoting a person of mixed European and East or South-east Asian descent.
