How, exactly are you defining Arab? From the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Quote:Arab, Arabic singular masculine ʿArabī, singular feminine ʿArabiyyah, plural ʿArab, one whose native language is Arabic. (See also Arabic language.) Before the spread of Islam and, with it, the Arabic language, Arab referred to any of the largely nomadic Semitic inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula. In modern usage, it embraces any of the Arabic-speaking peoples living in the vast region from Mauritania, on the Atlantic coast of Africa, to southwestern Iran, including the entire Maghrib of North Africa, Egypt and Sudan, the Arabian Peninsula, and Syria and Iraq.Islam and the Arabic language wouldn't have spread from the Arabian Peninsula if all the the Semitic inhabitants had stayed at home after Islam was established. The following list of famous Arabs could include people descended from Arabian peninsula Arabs even though they were born in other countries.
