From a cursory google search, Bohsali appears to be a surname among people of Lebanese origin. Lebanese people are a mediterrean people (like spainards, italians, greeks, israelis, turks, etc.).

This only partial answers your question however. As you may or may not be aware, lebanon has been a mercantile nation for thousands of years, and lebanese merchants and settlers have settled around the world, which means you may associate people of lebanese ancestry with numerous other 'ethnicities', for instance, Shakira and Salma Hayek (considered 'latinas') are of lebanese descent, as is presidental spoiler Ralph Nader and red-headed mall singer Tiffany. There are many people of Lebanese ancestry in Africa as well, although for the most part, they did not intermarry with black Africans, they would be "African" in the most accurate sense of the word.

When the profile is at a Lebanese web site, that seems pretty good. I have to assume that those from Lebanon would be known as Middle Eastern? although I personally don't have background on the history of the country.
