    Default How common are Euromutts in Europe?

    In the US it's the norm for someone to be of multiple ethnicities, but my dad was born in Italy and he is 1/8th Montenegrin Serb and a quarter Swiss German. I was wondering how common are Euromutts in Europe?

    I know that it's common in East Europe, as Russians tend to have Baltic, Balkan and in some cases Turkic ancestry. It's also not uncommon for east Germans to have 20% Slavic admixture (mainly Polish). It all depends on the area

    Yea but I was talking about immigrants and different ethnic groups within a nation.

    How does one even define Euromutt ? What is the scale ? Someone who scores over 2.5 or 3 on G25 for a single closest Euro population ? It is a mistake to think because someone is seemingly mixed with different Euro groups or whatnot that they will necessarily score as an outgroup on a single European population.

    People that are mixed with different ethnic groups, such as Italians, French, German, etc. etc.

    It depends on the country. Certainly, I think you'll find it is more common in NW Europe than elsewhere in the Continent, given our longer tradition of mass immigration. The most extreme case I can think of from Britain is the late actor Peter Ustinov, who was a mix of five European nationalities plus Jewish and Ethiopian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ustinov

    It's common in Hungary. Many people here have recent German, Slavic and some have Jewish ancestry. France has large amount of part Italian, part Spanish, part Polish, part Portuguese Frenchmen. Belgium and Switzerland are multi ethnic countries so I think there has to be some mixing there.
    In Sweden in 2019 45% of babies were born to either 1 foreign parnt or 2 foreign parents. At least some of those should be swedish-eastern european mixed marriages.

    It depends on the country. In a country like Poland it may be less common than in others.

    I agree that it's probably less common in Poland.
    NW Europe does have a history of immigration, parts of Eastern Europe and Southeastern Europe on the other hand were always multi ethnic with enclaves etc.
    In 1910 Timisoara (city southwest Romania) was like 40% german, 40% hungarian and 10% Romanian. Kosice (2nd largest city of Slovakia) in 1880 was 40% Slovak, 39% Hungarian and 16% German etc etc. These ethnicities mixed with each other. You will find Slovaks and Hungarians with German surnames, Slovaks with Hungarian surnames and Hungarians with Slovak surnames. These two cities are just two random examples, I could give way more examples. Czechoslovakia's population in 1920 consisted of 30% minorities (mostly germans and to a lesser extent hungarians)
