Maghrebis or Maghrebians are the inhabitants of the Maghreb countries in western North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania). The bulk of the Maghrebis population is made up primarily from the Libyan people (also known since the medieval times as Berbers) - who are white to olive-skinned Caucasoid people and the first modern humans to settle in North Africa, but also is made up from people of Phoenician origin (Carthaginians), of Roman origin (Roman Africa), of Hellenic origin (Byzantine Africa), of Egyptian and Levantin origin (Muslim conquest of North Africa), of Iberian origin (native Andalusians fleeing the Reconquista, or Portuguese), of Italian origin (migration in Tunisia, Libya and Algeria), of Turkic, Balkan or other Mediterranean origin (such as descendant of Janissaries for Tunisia, Libya and Algeria) as well as of Sub-Saharan origin (Trans-Saharan trade).
