In a growing trend among Canadian coffee shops, the drink previously known as an Americano is being renamed a "Canadiano."

Yes, but the actual Spanish word for "Canadian" is "canadiense".

And while I am not familiar with how one particular type of coffee got named "americano", I do know that in the Spanish-speaking world, the term "americano" primarily refers to Spanish-speaking America: Mexico, Central America, and South America. The term is meant to make to distinction with the language of Spain (in terms of pronunciation and usage) and with the culture of Spain. (Although I am not sure how the non-Spanish-speaking countries in SA fit in, to be honest.)

There is a separate adjective "estadounidiense" for "Unitedstatesian" ( Based on the noun "Estados Unidos.")

As in, throw it in the Can! And say Adiano!

(Playfully said as someone that doesn't like coffee much, PS, yes I know, I'm weird... yes, you're weird too, it's why we're on SW)

Ugh I had that drink and I would not name it after my own country. 😬
