Forms:

α. 1800s Porto-Riqueian, 1800s Porto Riquenean, 1800s– Porto Rican, 1900s– Porto-Rican.

β. 1800s– Puerto Rican.

Origin: From proper names, combined with an English element; partly modelled on a Spanish lexical item. Etymons: proper name Puerto Rico , Porto Rico , -an suffix.

Etymology: < Puerto Rico (formerly also Porto Rico), the name of an island in the Greater Antilles group of the West Indies ( < Spanish Puerto Rico (early 16th cent.; < puerto port n.¹ + rico rich adj.)) + -an suffix. With the form Porto Riqueian compare -ian suffix. In form Porto Riquenean after Spanish portorriqueño (although this is apparently first attested slightly later: 1862); the usual Spanish form is puertorriqueño (1856 or earlier as puerto Riqueño).The former English form Porto Rico is probably < French Porto-Rico (late 18th cent. or earlier), which is itself an alteration (probably after French port port n.¹) of Spanish Puerto Rico. Spanish †Porto Rico is only occasionally attested in the 17th cent. The name was officially changed in 1932 from Porto Rico to Puerto Rico. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, in voluntary association with the United States, was established on 25 July 1952.

A. n.

A native or inhabitant of Puerto Rico. Also: a person of Puerto Rican descent.
