Spanish has it: estadounidense (unitedstatesian)

Other than that, it's no one's fault but the USA's they gave their country such a stupid name (stealing the one of the continent)

    I really hate to break it to you, but the name “America” didn’t come from the Americans.

    (And if the person I replied to had been speaking in Spanish, I wouldn’t have had any reason to reply.)

    I hate to break it to you, but the name America as it was chosen by Europeans was meant to be the name of the continent.

    The name USA was chosen by unitedstatesians when creating the country. A stupid mistake. Everyone else managed to pick a name, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Argentina.... but not the USA.
