Morphology

Floridian = Florida (transparent) = Florida + ian

Formed by the place name 'Florida' with the productive demonym suffix '-ian', clearly indicating a person from Florida.

Etymology

The word Floridian comes from the name Florida, which the Spanish called 'La Florida' meaning 'flowery' or 'full of flowers', and the ending -ian means 'person from' or 'related to', as in Italian or Canadian. So a Floridian is someone who is from or lives in Florida.
