Cypriot

Aphrodite's island native

Cypriot refers to a person from Cyprus or anything relating to that Mediterranean island nation: Cypriot cuisine, the Cypriot government.

The island's division between Greek Cypriots in the south and Turkish Cypriots in the north often makes the term politically significant.
