Names for residents
Demonyms are names for residents of a particular place: Texan, Parisian, New Yorker.
English has no fixed rules for forming them—Floridian but Californian, Michigander but Wisconsinite.
Some are irregular: people from Manchester are Mancunians, from Liverpool Liverpudlians.
The term also covers ethnic and national identities: German, Japanese, Navajo.
