覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Syrian は国名 Syria に、人・所属・性質を表す -n が付いた語で、「シリアの」または「シリア人」。Syrian food、Syrian culture、Syrian refugee のように名詞の前では形容詞として使う。国名は Syria、人は a Syrian、複数なら Syrians と区別し、固有名詞由来なので通常は大文字で書く。
Build Syrian directly from the country name Syria. The ending marks a person or something connected with that country, so Syrian food, Syrian culture, and Syrian artifacts all mean “of or from Syria.” As a noun, a Syrian is a person from Syria, and the plural is Syrians. Keep the capitalization: although the headword here is shown as syrian, standard English normally writes Syrian with a capital S because it is a nationality and a proper adjective. Do not confuse Syria, the country, with Syrian, the adjective or person word, or Syriac, which has specialized historical and linguistic uses.

syrian の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 Syria、ギリシャ語 Syriā を経て英語に。古代アッシリア語 Aššur（アッシュル、アッシリア帝国の神と首都名）に由来するとされる。ギリシャ人が Assyria の語頭を落として Syria と呼んだのが定着。関連語：Assyria（アッシリア）、Syriac（シリア語）。
Syrian is formed from Syria, the country name, with the adjectival and nationality suffix -n. English Syria comes through Latin Syria from Greek Syria. The ancient relationship between the names Syria and Assyria is widely recognized, although the exact historical development and scope of the terms have been debated. The name Assyria is connected with Aššur, the name of an ancient city and deity. Syriac is a related term now used especially for a historical Aramaic language and the Christian traditions associated with it.
