I've received good feedback on the Google Doodles Quizzes... just quick, fun diversions. So here's something else.
A demonym is the name for a resident of of particular locality. In other words, "what do you call someone from...?". Example: People from New York are called New Yorkers. Note that a "locality" can be a country, region, city, or any other recognized area. Seems simple, right?
