Morphology

Danubian = Danube (transparent) = Danube + ian

The demonym/person-forming '-ian' applied to the place name 'Danube' yields a clear meaning 'a person from the Danube region'.

Etymology

A Danubian comes from the same river name Danube and the Latin form Danubius, and it simply means 'a person from the Danube', so it refers to someone who lives in the regions beside that river.
