Mutamassirun

Mutamaṣṣirūn (متمصرون, plural, or Mutamaṣṣir متمصر in singular, literally "Egyptianized" ) refers to "Egyptianized" Europeans residing in Egypt, primarily during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Mutamassirun community was first established in Egypt in the early 19th century, following the French campaign and Muhammad Ali's seizure of power. From the early 20th century they became an important component of Egyptian society, and despite their diversity were usually viewed as a homogeneous group by Egyptian nationalists.

The Mutamassirun community consisted of: Greeks, Italians, Jews, Armenians, and Maltese communities.

The populations that carried British or French nationality (e.g. Greeks, Italians, and Jews) were expelled in the 1950s. These expulsions took place as retaliation for the Suez Crisis.

Around 6,000-60,000 Greeks, and 3000 Italians remain in Egypt today but changed their nationality to Egyptian, they are descendants of their Mutamassirun ancestors that were living in Egypt.
