Gentilic

A demonym (/ˈdɛmənɪm/; δῆμος dẽmos "people, tribe", ὄνομα ónoma "name") is a word that identifies residents or natives of a particular place, which is derived from the name of that particular place. It is a neologism (i.e., a newly minted term); previously gentilic was recorded in English dictionaries, e.g., the Oxford English Dictionary and Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary.

Examples of demonyms include Chinese for a person of China, Swahili for a person of the Swahili coast, Indian for a person of India, American for a person of the United States of America (or, more broadly, a native of the Americas), and Bangladeshi for a person of Bangladesh.

Demonyms do not always clearly distinguish place of origin or ethnicity from place of residence or citizenship, and oftentimes demonyms overlap with the ethnonym for the ethnically dominant group of a the region. Thus a Thai may be any resident or citizen of Thailand, of any ethnic group, or more narrowly a member of the Thai people. Conversely, some groups of people may be associated with multiple demonyms. For example, a native of the United Kingdom may be called a British person, a Brit, or a Briton. In some languages, when a parallel demonym does not exist, a demonym is borrowed from another language as a nickname or descriptive adjective of a group of people.
