Etymology
Idahoan comes from the place name Idaho plus the ending -an, which means 'person from', like Canadian or Texan. One popular story says the name Idaho comes from a Native American word meaning 'gem of the mountains', which makes it easy to remember that an Idahoan is someone from a state known for its mountains and wild nature.
