A person from or inhabitant of Dahomey; also an adjective describing things related to the Dahomey kingdom or its people.
Formed from Dahomey with the suffix -an (like 'European' from 'Europe'), following English conventions for creating demonyms and adjectives from place names.
The -an suffix creates demonyms in English (like Moroccan, Jamaican)—each time we use these words, we're using a naming pattern that's hundreds of years old!
