"Bajans" redirects here. For other uses, see Bajan (disambiguation).
Barbadians, more commonly known as Bajans (pronounced /ˈbeɪdʒən(z)/ BAY-jənz) are people who are identified with the country of Barbados, by being citizens or their descendants in the Bajan diaspora. The connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Bajans, several (or all) of those connections exist and are collectively the source of their identity. Bajans are a multi-ethnic and multicultural society of various ethnic, religious and national origins; therefore Bajans do not necessarily equate their ethnicity with their Bajan nationality.[citation needed]
