Spanish Chileans are Chileans, of Spanish origin, even though a large minority have mixed with the other Europeans that have settled in the country after Independence up to the 20th century. Therefore, it is noteworthy that almost 45% of the Chilean population is non-Spanish European surnames. Spanish colonizers first came to Chile in the 16th century, and later waves of immigrants came in the following centuries from different parts of Spain.

  • Spanish Chileans are Chileans, of Spanish origin, even though a large minority have mixed with the other Europeans that have settled in the country after Independence up to the 20th century. Therefore, it is noteworthy that almost 45% of the Chilean population is non-Spanish European surnames. Spanish colonizers first came to Chile in the 16th century, and later waves of immigrants came in the following centuries from different parts of Spain. The vast majority of Chileans are of Spanish descent. Most Spaniards were Andalusians, Castilians and Basques during the colonial period. Thousands of Spanish refugees fleeing Spanish Civil War on 1939 also settled and have many descendants in the country. There are also Catalans and Galicians, most of these two came either through Argentina (which has a large Galician population) or came escaping the Spanish Civil War and Franco's Dictatorship.
  • Gran parte de la población chilena es descendiente de españoles que emigraron a Chile entre los siglo XVI y XVIII, durante la época colonial, cuando Chile era parte del Imperio Español. Aunque las inmigraciones de otras nacionalidades europeas modificaron en muchos aspectos la base hispana de la sociedad chilena, el folclore chileno no obstante muestra orígenes españoles indudables, en especial, vascos y andaluces. Todo lo concerniente a la cultura huasa podemos rastrearlo con relativa facilidad en Andalucía. La lengua española y la religión católica como elementos directrices formativos, al igual que la arquitectura rural, los fundos, las haciendas e innumerable cantidad de tradiciones que sobreviven en el campo, son legado de esos españoles emigrados a Chile en otras épocas. Posteriormente, hubo nuevas olas de inmigración española durante los siglos XIX y XX. Especial mención merece la masiva llegada de refugiados producto de la Guerra Civil.
