Antiguan is not the name of the island — that name is Antigua. This word is for a person from that Caribbean island, or for things that belong to it: Antiguan food, an Antiguan writer, Antiguan beaches. English often makes this kind of word by adding a sound like -n or -an to a place name. The island itself sits in the Caribbean, in the country of Antigua and Barbuda (with Barbuda and little Redonda); the capital is St. John's; English is spoken there. Though actually people from the whole country may be called Antiguan and Barbudan in careful official language, while in ordinary talk Antiguan often does the everyday job, especially when the speaker means the main island. Same pronunciation base as the island: an-TEE-gahn.
