Usage Note

Gibraltareño is the Spanish demonym for a person or thing from Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. The feminine is gibraltareña. The sovereignty dispute between Spain and the UK means the word often appears in political and diplomatic contexts. Note the j-sound spelling: the g before i is pronounced like English 'h'.
