Khoisan (also spelled Khoesaan Khoesan or Khoe–San) is a unifying name for two groups of peoples of Southern Africa who share physical and putative linguistic characteristics distinct from the Bantu majority of the region. Culturally the Khoisan are divided into the foraging San or Bushmen and the pastoral Khoi or more specifically Khoikhoi previously known as Hottentots.
