===Definitions in Portugal, Spain, the rest of Europe===
In Portugal, Hispanic refers to something historical related to ancient Hispania (especially the terms Hispano-Roman and Hispania) or the Spanish language and cultures shared by all the Spanish-speaking countries.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://dicionario.priberam.org/hisp%c3%a2nico |title=Significado / definição de hispânico |work=Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa |language=pt |access-date=19 January 2020}}</ref> Although sharing the etymology for the word (pt: ''{{Lang|pt|hispânico}}'', es: ''{{Lang|es|hispánico}}''), the definition for Hispanic is different between Portugal and Spain.
The [[Royal Spanish Academy]] (Spanish: Real Academia Española, RAE), the official royal institution responsible for regulating the Spanish language defines the terms "''{{Lang|es|hispano}}''" and "''{{Lang|es|hispánico}}''" (which in Spain have slightly different meanings) as:<ref>{{cite web |url= http://dle.rae.es/?id=KW1s7dJ |title=hispano. |work=Diccionario de la lengua española |publisher=Real Academia Española |access-date=9 November 2016 |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://dle.rae.es/?id=KVkY2zv |title=hispánico. |work=Diccionario de la lengua española |publisher=Real Academia Española |access-date=9 November 2016 |language=es}}</ref>

* 4. Of or pertaining to [[Hispanic America]]
* 5. Of or pertaining to the population of Hispanic American origin who live in the United States of America

The modern term to identify Portuguese and Spanish territories under a single nomenclature is "Iberian", and the one to refer to cultures derived from both countries in the Americas is "Iberian-American". These designations can be mutually recognized by people in Portugal and [[Brazil]]. "Hispanic" is totally void of any self-identification in Brazil, and quite to the contrary, serves the purpose of marking a clear distinction in relation to neighboring countries' culture. Brazilians may identify as Latin Americans, but refute being considered Hispanics because their language and culture are neither part of the Hispanic cultural sphere, nor Spanish-speaking world.

In Spanish, the term "''{{Lang|es|hispano}}''", as in "''{{Lang|es|hispanoamericano}}''", refers to the people of Spanish origin who live in the Americas and to a relationship to Spain or to the Spanish language. There are people in Hispanic America that are not of Spanish origin, such as Amerindians- the original people of these areas, as well as Africans and people with origins from other parts of Europe.

Like in Portugal, in the rest of Europe (and wider world) the concept of 'Hispanic' refers to historical ancient Hispania (especially the term Hispano-Roman and Hispania during the Roman Empire) or the Spanish language and cultures shared by all the Spanish-speaking countries.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/hispanique/40038 | title=Définitions : Hispanique - Dictionnaire de français Larousse |website=Larousse.fr}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.wissen.de/fremdwort/hispanic | title=Was bedeutet Hispanic &#124; Fremdwörter für Hispanic |website=Wissen.de }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/ispanico/ | title=Ispànico in Vocabolario |website=Treccani.it }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sv.bab.la/lexikon/engelsk-svensk/hispanic|title=HISPANIC - svensk översättning - bab.la engelskt-svenskt lexikon|website=Sv.bab.la|access-date=25 July 2022}}</ref>
