A person who advocates for or believes in democratic principles; relating to democracy or democrats.
From 'democrat' + '-ian' suffix. 'Democrat' comes from Greek 'dēmos' (people) + 'kratos' (power). The '-ian' ending creates either a person or adjective form, similar to 'libertarian' or 'authoritarian'.
