Mainer
This demonym refers to a native or permanent resident of the U.S. state of Maine. It carries a strong connotation of regional identity, often implying a specific set of cultural values associated with the state's rugged landscape, maritime history, and independent spirit.
In practical usage, the term is frequently employed to distinguish lifelong locals from "summer people" or seasonal tourists. While common in spoken English and regional journalism, formal legal or administrative documents typically prefer the phrase "resident of Maine."
