It's all relative. People from different parts of the world call
us all Yankees. If you live in the U.S., Yankees are only people
from the North. If you live in the North Yankees are a specific
class of people descended from old English settlers. I live in
Boston, and by my own perspective I am NOT a Yankee, but to people
from other places I AM a Yankee. To muddy the waters further,
"Yankee" was a Dutch insult for English settlers, but it is now a
term of pride for some people (and an different insult to others).

<br>
How about "Northern West-Hemispherians"?<br>

<div>U.S.A. will do. "America" could be problematic, since it can
be criticized as a cultural appropriation of a geographic term
which describes two continents (and perhaps all the peoples of
the New World).</div>

</div>
<div>PS: Bit of a pet peeve of mine: in Spanish we can call people
from the USA "estadounidenses", which would literally translate
to "Unitedstatesians". I find "estadounidense" quite proper and
sufficiently descriptive. However, many of us still fall into
the pitfall of describing, particularly Anglophone
"Unitedstatesians", as "Americanos". (On a side note, a friend,
Tim Unwin, is actually encouraging everyone to call the people
of the USA "USAns" (pronounced you-ess-ns)).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only nation that would have standing to object the
"estadounidense" demonym is Mexico, since the official name of
that republic is United States of Mexico. But I don't think
Mexicans would like to be called "estadounidenses" (especially
in the Trump age!). This discussion is not irrelevant since -by
definition- language defines everything (pun intended). Take for
example the historic election of Francis as Pope (and note that
I'm not religious person). Everybody and the media celebrated
him as the first "Latin American" Pope. But Francis is much
more than that: He is the First Pope from the New World; the
first non-European Pope; the First AMERICAN Pope; period!!</div>
