Unexpected demonyms

[mahatmakanejeeves]

I'm looking at the thread in LBN, Mark E. Smith, Prolific Singer of Post-Punk Group the Fall, Dead at 60. It starts, "Fiercely independent Mancunian frontman used dry witticisms and plays on words to create singular musical career."

Well, I've run into this before, so I know what that means: he's from Manchester. What I want to know is, how do you get from "he's from Manchester" to "Mancunian"?

Mancunian

Mancunian is the associated adjective and demonym of Manchester, a city in North West England.

Demonym

A demonym or gentilic is a word used for people or the inhabitants of a place. The name of a people's language is usually the same as this word, for example, the "English" (language or people). Some places may not have a word for the people that live there.

Someone from Glasgow is a Glaswegian. Someone from Alabama is an Alabamian.

So that's a demonym, which is a new word to me. What other unexpected demonyms are there?
