Do you know the word or phrase that is used to describe a person who is a resident of a particular city? For example, I live on Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am an "Edmontonian". What do you call such a term?

While you're at it, what city are you from and what are residents there called? Just curious.

Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

A demonym is a name for an inhabitant of a specific place, which is derived from the place name. -wiktionary

or, demonym

p.s. - I am generally referred to as a Twin Citian. cool

Dear Twin Citian,

Thanks for your help in starting me down the right path - the path marked with demonyms.

Much appreciated.

Sincerely,
An Edmontonian (also an Albertan and a Canadian)
