Noah and his descendants populated the Earth after the Deluge. Noah had three sons, Sem, Cham and Yafeth. Sem's descendants populated Asia, Cham's Africa and Yafeth's Europe. So a Semite is a descendant of Sem, probabbly from one of the Arab countries, but it could also come from China, Japan, India, Malaysia, Korea, etc.
