    That doesn’t make any sense

      I have heard Canadians referring to US people as “Americans” but never heard Canadians referring to themselves as “Americans”

      Yes it does.

      The United States of America has a weird name to append “ians” to. So it was just knocked down to Americans rather than “United States of Americans.”

      North Americans would be the title for the people in North America.

      No one calls people from Europe, Ropians.
