覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Oklahoman は Oklahoma に「～の人・～に関する」を表す -an が付いた語。名詞なら an Oklahoman / Oklahomans、形容詞なら Oklahoman culture のように使う。Oklahoma の末尾 a と -an が重なって Oklahoman となる綴りを確認し、州名由来なので常に大文字で書く。
Form Oklahoman by attaching the resident-forming ending -an to Oklahoma. Picture one resident as an Oklahoman and several residents as Oklahomans; as an adjective, use combinations such as Oklahoman culture, an Oklahoman rancher, or an Oklahoman newspaper. Notice that the final a of Oklahoma is not retained before -an: the result is Oklahoma + n in appearance, spelled Oklahoman. Since it comes from a U.S. state name, always capitalize it. Compare Texan and Californian as other state-based demonyms, while remembering that each state uses its own established formation.

oklahoman の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Oklahoma＋接尾辞 -an（〜の人）の構成。Oklahomaはチョクトー族の言葉 okla（人々）＋ humma（赤い）で「赤い人々」の意。関連語に Texan、Californian など同じ -an 型の州民名がある。先住民の言語が州名に残る好例。
Oklahoman is formed from Oklahoma with the English demonymic suffix -an, meaning a person from or something associated with a place. Oklahoma comes from Choctaw okla, “people,” and humma, “red,” a combination proposed by Choctaw leader Allen Wright as a name for the territory. The state name preserves these Choctaw elements, while English created Oklahoman according to a familiar pattern also seen in resident names such as Texan and Californian.
