Michigander

Michigander and Michiganian are demonyms for residents of the U.S. state of Michigan. Less common alternatives include Michiganer, Michiganite, Michiganese, and Michigine. There is no "official" term. While previous governors Jennifer Granholm, John Engler, and Jim Blanchard used Michiganian, current governor Rick Snyder uses Michigander. A 2011 poll indicated 58% of Michigan residents preferred Michigander, compared to 12% for Michiganian, with 12% having no preference, and 11% not liking either term. Residents of the Upper Peninsula typically refer to themselves as Yoopers instead. Yoopers refer to residents of the lower Michigan who live "below the bridge" between the UP and lower Michigan as "Trolls."
