mailperson
Delivers your mail
A mailperson is someone who delivers mail to homes and businesses, a gender-neutral alternative to mailman.
The term emerged as part of broader efforts to use inclusive language for occupations traditionally designated by gendered words.
In practice, mail carrier and letter carrier remain more common in official contexts, while mailperson appears mainly in informal speech.
The mailperson usually comes around noon.
