Lebanese Chileans, are immigrants to Chile from the Lebanon. Most are Christian and they arrived in Chile in the mid-19th to early-20th centuries to escape from poverty. Ethnically Lebanese Chileans are often called "Turks", (Spanish: Turcos) a term believed to derive from the fact that they arrived from present day Lebanon, which at that time was occupied by the Ottoman Turkish Empire.〔''Arab and Jewish immigrants in Latin America'': images and realities, by Ignacio Klich, Jeff Lesser, 1998, p. 165.〕 Most arrived as members of the Eastern Orthodox church and the Maronite church, but became Roman Catholic.〔In Santiago Society, No One Cares If Your Name Is Carey or de Yrarrazaval, By ENID NEMY September 14, 1969, Sunday, (Arab and Jewish immigrants in Latin America. )〕 A minority are Muslim.
