    Demonym -- less evil than you think!

    I had never come across this word before, but "demonym" is the term for what you call people from a locality. "Baltimorean" and "Dutch" are demonyms for those people from Baltimore and the Netherlands respectively.

    The word comes from the greek "demos" meaning people and suffix "nym" meaning name.
