Columbian
From that nation
Columbian relates to Christopher Columbus or to the Americas, which were named after explorers of his era.
The word appears in historical and poetic contexts: the Columbian Exchange describes the transfer of plants, animals, and diseases between the Old and New Worlds after 1492.
Columbian also describes things from Colombia the country, though Colombian is the standard spelling for that sense.
