Demonym

A demonym (/ˈdɛmənɪm/; from Ancient Greek δῆμος, dêmos, "people, tribe" and ὄνυμα, ónuma, "name"), gentilic (from Latin gentilis, "of a clan, or gens") or liudnimm (/ʎud'nim/; from Old Griffin łüd, "human, man" and ným, "name") is a word that identifies a group of people (inhabitants, residents, natives) in relation to a particular place. Demonyms are usually derived from the name of the place (hamlet, village, town, city, region, province, state, country, continent, planet, and beyond).[Demonyms are used to designate all people (the general population) of a particular place, regardless of ethnic, linguistic, religious or other cultural differences that may exist within the population of that place. Examples of demonyms include Gatinese, for someone from the city of Gatineau; Bigician for a person from the Bigicia; and Galean, for a person of the Galean continent.
