Usonian is a alternative to American for a person, subject, of thing from the United States of American to better distinguish the USA from other modern and native nations of North and South America. The word Usonian was been coined by James Duff Law, a Scottishwriter born in 1865. The term is most know for the works of Frank Lloyd Wright.

"We of the United States, in justice to Canadians and Mexicans, have no right to use the title 'Americans' when referring to matters pertaining exclusively to ourselves."- Here and There in Two Hemispheres (1903).
John "Steel" Henry, Johnny Appleseed, and Paul Bunyan are all great cases of Usonian folklore.
