Demonyms > Demonyms of the Solar System

General

• Solar System - Solarian, Solar (adjective)

The Solar System is big. Really big. Fortunately for the demonymographer, however, only one of its planets is known to be inhabited. Solarians may or may not be referred to by several other names throughout the universe, some of which may or may not be pejorative, annoying, or insulting. The list below is provided for completeness only, and intends no disrespect to anyone. Words in emphasis are Latin.

I do not pretend that this is a complete list as far as demonyms go. If you know other names (formal, informal, pejorative, or otherwise) for planets, moons, or other designations, please /msg me.

Apologies to in10se for mocking the Demonyms idea.
