Birth Name:
David James Archuleta
Birth Place:
Miami, Florida , USA
Date of Birth:
December 28, 1990

Honduran, Irish, German, Iroquois, Basque and Danish
The American Idol star was born to a Honduran mother and an American father of Basque (Spanish), Danish, Irish, German, and Iroquois descent. David’s father Jeff stated this on his twitter page.
An interesting point is that 90 percent of Hondurans are Mestizo, ie. being a mixture of Amerindian and European descent. Archuleta made his television debut at the age of 11 on the show, The Jenny Jones Show for future Latino stars.

how did that lady get an icon lol?:)
Interesting topic of discussion. Thanks José and Darcy. Would it be appropriate to say “Basque (from Spain)”
lol about the grammar issue. it gets me too.
*not to say that he DOESN’T feel solidarity.
Sometimes my passion for internet commentary trumps straightforward grammar and typing.
Jeff Archuleta begs to differ. He told me that he is proud of his Spanish AND his Basque lineage. He understands that the parenthetical “Spanish” was merely meant as an indication of geographical location and not cultural homogeneity. That is not to say that David Archuleta’s father feels solidarity with all displaced ethnicities i.e. Palestinians, Kurds, Uighurs and Native Americans.
What kind of Basque name is “Baker” anyway? I question your whole agenda.
You put Basque (Spanish) and thereby INSULTED Basque people! I am half Basque, and I can tell you RIGHT NOW that we are NOT Spanish and NOT French!!! This is a very cool website, but that is completely inaccurate! Archuleta is a BASQUE name – it is NOT Spanish!!!!
thanks for that
