He is called a citizen of that country.

If he is a citizen of Turkey, he is a Turkish citizen. If he is a citizen of Iran, he is an Iranian citizen. If he is a citizen of Yemen, he is a Yemeni citizen. If he is a citizen of Lebanon, he is a Lebanese citizen. Etc.

Oftentimes, Middle-Easterners will also identify by ethnicity and/or by religion in addition to their nationality. For example: Kurdish Turk, Azeri Iranian, Zaydi Shiite Yemeni, and Maronite Christian Lebanese.

In the English language, there is no single word that would describe all inhabitants of the Middle East. They are usually known by national, ethnic, or religious affiliations, or by the names of regions within the middle east.

The Middle East is not a country, and does not have citizens. You would have to settle for Middle Easterner, unless you knew the country.

Why is the middle east called the middle east?

According to an article in Foreign Affairs (Davison, 1960) the term Middle East was popularized by an American naval officer named Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1902, but it might have been used by the British during their years of colonialism in the region. China and Japan for example were considered to be the Far East so the region between the Far East and The West then became the Near East or the Middle East. Although at times in history the Near East denoted the Balkans, it now generally means the Middle East plus Turkey and Iran. The terms Middle East and Near East are eurocentric because they describe a region in relation to Europe or The West. Despite this, the term is now accepted and even people in the Middle East call it that (Al-Sharq Al-Awasat means Middle East in Arabic). The issue of why the Middle East is called the Middle East is an interesting example of how simple geographic names are emeshed in geopolitics and can shift in meaning over time.For a more detailed history read: Roderic H. Davison, "Where is the Middle East?" Foreign Affairs, Vol. 38, p. 665 -675. July 1960
