CREO PEOPLE SKIN
In French Guiana the term refers to anyone, regardless of skin colour, who has adopted a European way of life, and in neighbouring Suriname, the term refers only to the descendants of enslaved Africans. In Trinidad, the term Creole is used to designate all Trinidadians except those of Asian origin. In the Caribbean, the term broadly refers to all the people, whatever their class or ancestry - African, East Asian, European, Indian - who are part of the culture of the Caribbean. In some Spanish-speaking countries, the word Criollo is used today to describe something local or very typical of a particular Latin American country.
Its use to describe languages started from 1879, while as an adjective, from 1748. In Louisiana, the term Creole has been used since 1792 to represent descendants of African or mixed heritage parents as well as children of French and Spanish descent with no racial mixing. The word Creole has several cognates in other languages, such as créole, creolo, criol, criollo, crioulo, kreol, kreyol, krio, Cria derives from criar, meaning "to raise or bring up", itself derived from the Latin creare, meaning "to make, bring forth, produce, beget" - itself the source of the English word "create". The English word creole derives from the French créole, which in turn came from Portuguese crioulo, a diminutive of cria, meaning a person raised in one's house.
