Egyptian Americans (Arabic: الأمريكيون المصريون, romanized: al-Amirīkīyūn al-Miṣrīyūn) are Americans of partial or full Egyptian ancestry. The 2016 US Census estimated the number of people with Egyptian ancestry at 256,000,[8] most of whom are from Egypt's Christian Orthodox Coptic minority.[7] Egyptian Americans may also include the Egyptian foreign-born population in the United States.[9] The US Census Bureau estimated in 2016 that there were 181,677 foreign-born Egyptians in the United States. They represented around 0.4% of the total US foreign-born population as 42,194,354 first-generation immigrants in 2016.[10] Egyptians are concentrated in New York City and Los Angeles. California has the largest Egyptian population by state.[11]
