An ethnonym (
Gk. έθνος ethnos, 'tribe', + όνομα onoma, 'name') is the name of an
ethnic group, whether that name has been assigned by another group (i.e., an
exonym), or self-assigned (i.e., an
endonym). For example, the ethnically dominant group in
Germany are the Germans, an exonym carried into English from Latin; the Germans refer to themselves by the autonym "Deutsch".
