A person from the Bahamas, or something related to the Bahamas and its culture, people, or characteristics.
From Bahama (the islands) plus the suffix -ian (indicating origin or belonging). This English demonym formed naturally in the 19th century as the Bahamas became a distinct political entity.
Bahamian English is famous for preserving features of colonial-era English that disappeared elsewhere, plus it blends African languages and Taíno words—making it a living linguistic time capsule of Caribbean history.
