GeoNames Forum

Hello all, first I would like to say thanks Marc and the entire team of contributors for making geonames a great repository of geographic data.

Is it possible for geonames to also host demonym data, that is, what you call a person from each country? For example, Spain => Spaniard, Sweden => Swede, etc. It would also be nice if there were stored noun and adjective forms of each, for example, Spain => Spanish, Spaniard. This could also include other languages as well.

I'm willing to help collect the data - here is a sample list:

Best regards,
Mike

I've created a list of demonyms and the geonameids they are associated with. Currently it only has names for English but that could be extended as required.

Thanks a lot, Mike. This is a cool contribution.
