Lebanese diaspora refers to Lebanese migrants and their descendants who emigrated from Lebanon and now reside in other countries. There are more people of Lebanese origin (15,4 million) living outside Lebanon than within the country (6 million citizens). The Lebanese diaspora consists of Christians, Muslims, Druze, and Jews. The Christians trace their origin to several waves of emigration, starting with the exodus that followed the 1860 Lebanon conflict during the Ottoman Empire. Under the current Lebanese nationality law, the Lebanese diaspora do not have an automatic right to return to Lebanon. Varying degrees of assimilation and a high degree of inter-ethnic marriages in the Lebanese diaspora communities, regardless of religious affiliation, have caused many of the Lebanese diaspora not to have passed fluency in Arabic to their children, although most still maintain a Lebanese national identity. Several factors have caused Lebanese emigration, including civil wars, attacks on Lebanese sovereignty and land by Israel and Syria, and political and economic crises. The largest of the Lebanese diaspora reside in Brazil, 7 million people, followed by Argentina, with about 1.5 million.

Sfeir (Arabic: صفير) is a Maronite Christian clan surname from Lebanon, which appears with the highest density in the mountainous Keserwan District. As a result of the Lebanese diaspora, the name has flourished in North and South America, Western Europe, Australia, the Arabian peninsula, west Africa and South Africa. Many Sfeir trace the origin of the family name to the Levantine word aSfar (Sfeyr could mean yellow-ish, yellow or sulphur), possibly referencing yellow tunics or banners, from the time of the Crusades. Indeed, the flag of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem consisted of a grid work of yellow or gold crosses on a white background. Others suggest As-Safir (ambassador), reflecting a role as mediators. Additionally, a Hebrew connection to Sapir (sapphire) could indicate historical gem traders. Phonetically, the name may relate to the Aramaic Tsipparā (bird) or Syriac Ṣaprā(morning), reflecting shared roots across Semitic languages. Each theory highlights potential cultural and linguistic intersections. A few state that it may derive from the Syriac noun for whistling or singing, perhaps suggesting that the Sfeir may have been either archers or falconers (during the Crusades, the prelate and chronicler William of Tyre reported that the Maronites were well known for their prowess in archery). In any case, the clan legend is that a Crusader King, most likely Godfrey of Bouillon, granted to the Sfeir clan a portion of what is today the Keserwan District of Mount Lebanon, which was the northern frontier of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, as a reward for their loyalty to his reign and bravery in battle. In the village of Kleiat, there is a convent, founded in the 17th century by chevalier Nader Sfeir, called the Convent of the Sfeir (Couvent des Sfeir). To this day, the motto of Keserwan is "the Christians' Castle." Many members of the Sfeir clan have French given names, reflecting the Maronite community's historical and cultural links to France that date back more than 900 years. Members of the Sfeir clan have achieved prominence as clergymen and religious women, scholars, artists, diplomats, businessmen and women, scientists, medical doctors, lawyers, civil engineers and architects, and other professions and trades.

Although the exact origin of the name "Sfeir" remains debated, various scholarly hypotheses exist. Here are some possible connections between the surname Sfeir and Semitic roots related to similar-sounding words in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac: Aramaic: Tsipparā (צִפַּרָא) – meaning "bird," shares the root Ṣ-P-R, which is phonetically close to "Sfeir." Hebrew: Tzippor (צִפּוֹר) – "bird," also shares the root Ṣ-P-R. Syriac: Ṣaprā (ܨܦܪܐ) – meaning "morning" or "dawn," is another possible link. Syriac: Ṣappīrā (ܨܦܝܪܐ) – meaning "whistle." Syriac/Aramaic: The term ܣܦܝܪܐ (Sapirā) might mean something like "envoy" or "messenger" in older contexts. While these words resemble "Sfeir," no confirmed historical connection exists; the resemblance could be symbolic or coincidental based on shared Semitic phonetics.
