Plural of European; people from Europe or people of European descent.
From 'European,' derived from 'Europe,' ultimately from Greek 'Eurōpē,' possibly meaning 'wide-faced' or of unclear origin. The '-an' suffix makes it a demonym (name for people from a place).
'European' is interesting because Europe itself is a fuzzy concept—geographically, Europe and Asia are one landmass, so 'European' is really a cultural and political identity rather than a clear geographic one, unlike 'Australian' or 'American.'
