Oceanian
From Pacific islands
Oceanian refers to people, cultures, or things from Oceania—the region comprising Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands including Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
As a noun, an Oceanian is a person from this region: Oceanians have diverse maritime traditions.
