Namibian Americans are Americans who are of Namibian ancestry or who were born in Namibia, a country located in Southern Africa. According to the National Planning Commission there were approximately 1,547 people born in Namibia living in the United States as of 2001.[1] This number has likely increased in the years since but the United States Census Bureau does not collect data on the specific ancestry of American residents, so it is not possible to determine the total number of Namibian Americans in the United States through census data.[2]
