List of notable Puerto Ricans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of highly notable people who were either born in Puerto Rico, are descendants of Puerto Ricans or have chosen Puerto Rico as their homeland. Their contributions to the social and cultural structures of society in some cases are not limited only to Puerto Rico. Unlike the List of Puerto Ricans, those listed here have never denied being Puerto Rican and have met one or more of the requirements set by pre-determined criteria. This list is also maintained by a group of volunteers.

When adding a name to the list, please place it in the proper sub-category in alphabetical order by last name and state the criteria met.
