Barbadians
Caribbean island citizens
Barbadians are people from Barbados, the easternmost island nation in the Caribbean.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: Barbadians celebrate their independence day on November 30th; Barbadian cuisine features flying fish and cou-cou.
Informally, Barbadians are often called Bajans, a term derived from a local pronunciation of "Barbadian" that reflects the island's distinctive dialect and cultural identity.
