A Midlander is a person from the Midlands, the central part of England. The ending -er is the same as in or New Yorker: it names someone from that place, not the place itself. Someone from Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester or the country around them might be called a Midlander, though many people just name their city or their county instead. You would not say “I live in Midlander”; you live in the Midlands, and you are a Midlander. It is an ordinary, slightly newspaper-like word — friendly enough, not a joke and not a title.
