What are the most popular regional names for spanish people?

It's not accurate to talk about "regional names for Spanish people" because there isn't a specific name associated with each region. Spanish people are simply called "Spanish" regardless of their region.

However, there are some regional nicknames used in Spain to refer to people from specific regions. These nicknames are often used playfully or in a humorous context and are not always considered respectful.

Here are some examples:

Catalonia:

* Catalans: This is the most common and respectful term.

* Catala: A shortened version of Catalans.

* Flanders: A derogatory term, used by some outside of Catalonia.

Andalusia:

* Andaluces: This is the most common and respectful term.

* Andaluces: A shortened version of Andaluces.

* Andalusian: Often used in English, it's a respectful term.

* Curro: A common nickname used for Andalusian men.

Madrid:

* Madrileños: This is the most common and respectful term.

* Chulapos: A term associated with traditional Madrilenian fashion, sometimes used for men.

Galicia:

* Gallegos: This is the most common and respectful term.

* Galician: Often used in English, it's a respectful term.

Basque Country:

* Vascos: This is the most common and respectful term.

* Euskal Herria: The Basque name for the Basque Country.

Valencia:

* Valencianos: This is the most common and respectful term.

* Valencian: Often used in English, it's a respectful term.

It's important to note that not all regional nicknames are widely known or used, and some can be considered offensive.

It's always best to use the general term "Spanish" when referring to people from Spain, or the specific regional name like "Catalan" or "Andalusian."
