Etymology
'Puebloan' originates from Spanish, specifically the word 'pueblo', where 'pueblo' meant 'village' or 'people'.
'Puebloan' was formed in English by combining Spanish 'pueblo' with the English adjectival/national suffix '-an' (19th century usage), coming to denote people of the Pueblo communities.
Initially tied to the idea of a 'village' or 'villager', the term evolved to refer specifically to the Native American Pueblo peoples and related cultural/archaeological concepts.
