> Someone from Texas is a Texan.

Interestingly, there was a fierce debate in the middle of the 19th century over whether people from Texas would call themselves Texans or Texians. Apparently Texan won. My historian friend from Texas says that occasionally you will hear the term Texian but most Texans would reject it.

I have heard it said that women from Michigan are Michigeese because men are Michiganders. But I have no idea what the generic word is for these designations, though I assume there is one.
