Boricua
The word Puerto Ricans use for themselves, derived from Borikén, the Taíno name of the island. It carries pride and appears in songs, shirts and everyday talk far more than the formal demonym. A visitor can use it comfortably to refer to someone from the island.
Exemple
You will hear yo soy boricua sooner and louder than the formal demonym, on the island and in the diaspora.
