Several single-word English alternatives have been suggested

Some of these make sense, but several of them would only refer to a specific area in the U.S. (e.g. Washingtonian) or are really out of left field (e.g. Fredonian).

    I'm assuming Washingtonian would be refering to the man, not the state that refers to the man. I mean, it's a silly name, but not for the reason you state.
