But "Berkeleyan" appears in the Merriam-Webster dictionary albeit in reference to philosopher Bishop Berkeley, not the Californian city. According to spokesperson Matthai Chakko, a search through the city's records turns up far more results for "Berkeleyan ," though written use of either term is rare.
Annette Hipona said in an email. There's no official demonym for Fremont, either, according to two city spokespeople. That's partly a morphological problem, said Jenny Lereder, assistant professor of linguistics at San Francisco State University. English has few suffixes that sound natural when attached to a word like "city. They also signify a unique sense of community among locals. The answers to those questions might help explain why Berkeley, world-famous for its university and its left-leaning political climate, has two unofficial demonyms, while more suburban neighborhoods might not have any.
The city of Livermore makes for an interesting illustration of Lereder's theory. But for generations, its residents have referred to themselves with an unusual moniker. If anything, Livermore has a reputation for braniacs. It's home to two major research labs, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, and was immortalized in with the naming of periodic element — Livermorium.
The tongue-in-cheek demonym has grown less popular over time, she added — newer residents now call themselves "Livermorians" — but in an informal poll of two Livermore Facebook groups, more than were willing to voluntarily identify themselves as "Livermorons. When speaking to someone not familiar with greater Bay Area geography, many locals find it more expedient to generalize their hometown to simply "the Bay Area. The Bay Area certainly has the distinct identity and international import of a demonym-able place — and yet, there are few "Bay Areans.
Lereder blames the vowels. You can say it but it violates the constraints of the language," she said. That's too many vowels in a row. I can remember the exact moment it hit me that things had changed. I knew that each represented a person who was infected. I knew that each of them had roommates and families and colleagues and friends whose health was on the line.
And I knew that it was urgent that we reach them as quickly as possible so that they could take steps to protect themselves and others. So, I did what I could do: I volunteered to help reach as many of the contacts of those cases as I could.
