Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Guyana , Guiana , -ese suffix.

Etymology: < Guyana, Guiana (formerly also Guayana ), the name of a region in the northern part of South America and (subsequently) of two countries in that region + -ese suffix. Compare French Guyanais , noun (1723 as Guayanois , or earlier), and adjective (1741 as Guyanois , or earlier), Dutch Guyanees , noun (1659 or earlier, now also as adjective), and (with different suffix: see -ish suffix¹) Dutch Guyaans , adjective (1602 or earlier). Compare earlier Guianian n., Guianian adj., and Guyanan adj.The place name is probably ultimately < an Arawak word with the sense ‘land of water, area of water’. It is attested in English and Spanish use from at least the late 16th cent. (compare e.g. Spanish Guayana (1589), and English Guaiana , Guiana (both 1596)), and in French and Dutch use from at least the first half of the 17th cent. In European use the name originally denoted a large region, which was subdivided into several colonies in the course of the 17th cent., controlled by Britain, the Netherlands, and France, respectively. These division are now approximately reflected by the countries of Guyana (formerly British Guiana) and Suriname (formerly the core of Dutch Guiana: see Surinamer n.), and the French overseas department of French Guiana (French Guyane). A former area of Spanish settlement is now reflected by the name of the Guayana region of Venezuela (Spanish Región Guayana). Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are now also collectively known as the Guianas (French les Guyanes, Dutch de Guyana's).

A. adj.

1. Originally: of, belonging to, or relating to a region in northern South America bounded by the Orinoco, Negro, and Amazon rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, or the natives or inhabitants of this region. In later use also (and more usually): of, belonging to, or relating to any or all of the colonies or countries situated in parts of this region and taking their name from it; esp. of, belonging to, or relating to Guyana (formerly British Guiana), or the Guianas (the region comprising Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana).The form Guyanese is now preferred when referring to Guyana, whereas Guianese remains common in other applications.Formerly the British colony of British Guiana, Guyana became an independent nation in 1966. The former Dutch colony of Dutch Guiana (which may refer either to the large region of northern South America under Dutch colonial control in the 17th and 18th centuries, or specifically to Suriname, depending on the period under discussion) became independent as Suriname in 1975. Formerly a French colony, French Guiana is an overseas department of France.
