 * Adjective


 * Noun

Uessian
The equivalence of "US-ian" and the even rarer spelling "Uessian" is maintained by the American Dialect Society:

The date given, 1937, is at odds with other sources suggesting the 19th century, and contradicted by an earlier mention of "Uessian" in the League of Nations Chronicle, March 30, 1930 (quoted in Allen Walker Read, America: naming the country and its people, 2008:59) as well as by the American Library Association:

U.S.iana
The derived term is attested in the title of the book:
 *  U.S.iana (1650-1950) : a selective bibliography in which are described 11,620 uncommon and significant books relating to the continental portion of the United States
