Today’s word is “demonym” ... dem-uh-nim ... the name used for the people who live in a particular country, state, or other locality: Two demonyms for the residents of Michigan are Michigander and Michiganian. (Dictionary.com)
See
What is in a name?
A demonym or label?
A way to identify,
Differentiate, if able.
It’s a bit more intimate,
Than Mr., Ms., or Miss,
But does not reveal,
Qualities by nature kissed.
But if the name is whispered,
In the quiet of the night,
By God, or friend or lover,
The heart is flamed with light.
