Definition
Plural of habitan; French Canadian inhabitants or residents, particularly rural farmers.
Etymology
The plural form of habitan, maintaining the French morphology. This word preserved its French pluralization in English texts about French-Canadian history and culture.
Kelly Says
The habitans of New France created a unique culture that blended French, Indigenous, and North American influences—their descendants still maintain distinct traditions in Quebec today!
