Pinoy is an informal demonym referring to the Filipino people in the Philippines and overseas Filipinos around the world.^[1][2] Filipinos usually refer to themselves as Pinoy or sometimes the feminine Pinay.^[1] The word is formed by taking the last four letters of Filipino and adding the diminutive suffix -y in the Tagalog language (the suffix is commonly used in Filipino nicknames: "Ninoy" or "Noynoy" for Benigno, "Totoy" for Augusto, etc.). Pinoy was used for self-identification by the first wave of Filipinos going to the continental United States before World War II and has been used both in a pejorative sense as well as a term of endearment similar to Chicano.^[3][4] Both Pinoy and Pinay are still regarded as derogatory by some Filipinos though they are widely used and gaining mainstream usage.^[5]

Pinoy was created to differentiate the experiences of those immigrating to the United States but is now a slang term used to refer to all people of Filipino descent.^[1] Mainstream usages tend to center on entertainment (Pinoy Big Brother) and music (Pinoy Idol) which has played a significant role in developing national and cultural identity. Pinoy music impacted the socio-political climate of the 1970s and was employed by both Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and the People Power Revolution that overthrew his regime. It is more positive than "flip."

A demonym /ˈdɛmənɪm/, also referred to as a gentilic, is a name for a resident of a locality and is usually, though not always, derived from the name of a locality.^[1] For example, the demonym for a resident of Britain is Briton; the demonym for a resident of Canada is Canadian; while the most common English language demonym for the people of the Netherlands is Dutch (though the words Netherlander and "Hollander" are also used).
