===Ancestry===
[[Image:Eva_Longoria_@_Festival_Internacional_de_Cine_en_Guadalajara_02_cropped.jpg|upright|thumb|Longoria in 2009 at the [[Guadalajara International Film Festival]]]]
According to research done in 2010 by [[Harvard]] professor and  ''[[Faces of America (PBS series)|Faces of America]]'' host [[Henry Louis Gates|Henry Louis Gates Jr.]], Longoria's oldest identifiable Spanish immigrant ancestor is her ninth great-grandfather, Lorenzo Suárez de Longoria (b. [[Oviedo]], 1592), who was a colonist of the [[Viceroyalty of New Spain]] (modern-day Mexico) in 1603. His family was based in a small village called Llongoria, [[Belmonte de Miranda|Belmonte de Miranda, Asturias]], Spain. [[Longoria]] is the Castillanized form of this [[Asturian language|Asturian-language]] surname.

In 1767, her seventh great-grandfather received almost {{convert|4000|acre|km2}} of land along the [[Rio Grande]] in a land grant from King [[Charles III of Spain]]. The family retained this land for more than a century. After the US-Mexican border was moved southwards in the aftermath of the [[Mexican–American War]], the land ended up on the American side of the border. Her family had to deal with the influx of United States settlers following the Mexican–American War and the [[American Civil War]].<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/wnet/facesofamerica/profiles/eva-longoria/8/ "Faces of America: Eva Longoria"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825020107/http://www.pbs.org/wnet/facesofamerica/profiles/eva-longoria/8/ |date=August 25, 2017 }}, PBS, ''[[Faces of America]]'' series (2010), with Professor [[Henry Louis Gates|Henry Louis Gates Jr.]]</ref>

According to [[DNA test]]ing, Longoria's overall genetic ancestry is 70% European, 27% [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Indigenous American]], and 3% [[List of ethnic groups of Africa|African]].<ref name="LM">{{cite web|url=http://www.latina.com/entertainment/celebrity/faces-america-reveals-eva-longoria-parkers-surprising-roots|title="Faces of America" Reveals Eva Longoria Parker's Surprising Roots|last=Miller|first=Gerri|date=February 2, 2010|work=[[Latina (magazine)|Latina magazine]]|publisher=Latina Media Ventures LLC|access-date=March 13, 2011|archive-date=April 1, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100401075119/http://www.latina.com/entertainment/celebrity/faces-america-reveals-eva-longoria-parkers-surprising-roots|url-status=dead}}</ref> A computer analysis of the DNA results of Gates's dozen guests showed that Longoria has the same genetic [[haplogroup]] as cellist [[Yo-Yo Ma]], who is of Chinese heritage.<ref name="LM"/> As women have two X chromosomes and no Y chromosome, Longoria did not inherit her father's [[Y-DNA]], but she did inherit her mother's [[mitochondrial DNA]] (genetic information passed from mother to child). Longoria's mtDNA belongs to the [[Haplogroup A (mtDNA)|Haplogroup A2]], making her a direct descendant of a Native American woman, a [[Maya peoples|Mayan]] from the territory of Mexico long before it was Mexico. Her ancestors include many other Maya on both sides of her family.<ref name="Gate's book">{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780814732649 |url-access=registration |quote=Eva Longoria is mtdna A2. |title=Faces of America: How 12 Extraordinary People Discovered their Pasts|pages=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780814732649/page/241 241]–247 |last=Gates|first=Henry Louis Jr.|author-link=Henry Louis Gates Jr.|publisher=[[NYU Press]]|location=New York City|date= July 6, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100137069&keyword=hollywood&subcatg=MOVIESWORLD |title=Eva Longoria shocked by DNA test |date=April 4, 2010 |work=NDTV Movies |publisher=NDTV Convergence Limited |access-date=March 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100407224943/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100137069&keyword=hollywood&subcatg=MOVIESWORLD |archive-date=April 7, 2010 }}</ref>

Longoria identifies as a "[[wikt:Texican|Texican]]"—a Mexican-American Texan.<ref name="Gate's book"/>
