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.

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)
