AFAIK the most widespread in Latin-American Spanish demonym is "Estadounidense". Which means... USian.

Well, in English, a we would call people from Germany (and the language) "German" but if we're speaking German, it would be weird to actually use the word "German" rather than "Deutsch".

So in this case, while Estadounidense does literally mean "United Statesian", it sounds weird in English.

And to be a bit trollish - USA is not the only country with "United States" in the name. Do you also refer to the residents of those countries as USian?

No, because those other countries have a demonym that isn't 'American'.

Er, no. The only other United States listed by Wikipedia as currently existing is actually called the United Mexican States, which does not fit.
