What does “Creole” mean?Creole refers to cultures and communities that emerged from the blending of cultures —especially in colonial societies shaped by migration, slavery, and trade. The term originally described people born in the New World to Old World parents, but its meaning has broadened to include the unique languages, cuisines, music, and traditions that arose from this cultural fusion.
