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.

Hmm, it's well known in the Arabic culture that all arabs came once from Yemen, spread over a vast area including the peninsula, iraq,syria,jordan. Those places have the purest arabs ; the natives.
I'm a native of the peninsula, but I don't have the saudi nationality My family traveled to another country in the past.
It's very complicated mixture of mixed races & families.
But any real arab can trace his/her name easily to one of the tribes of the peninsula or yemen. If not, then probably the person is not an arab.
