Cordobeña

Cordobeña is a feminine demonym in the Spanish language used to designate a woman from Córdoba, a city name applied to several places in the Spanish-speaking world, most notably Córdoba, Spain, and Córdoba Province in Argentina. The term is formed from Córdoba with the feminine suffix -eña.

While cordobesa is the standard feminine form in modern Spanish, cordobeña appears as a regional variant or as an older literary form. It is more commonly found in historical texts or in certain dialects and may be used to emphasize locality or heritage related to Córdoba. The masculine equivalent is cordobeño, though cordobés is the more widely used masculine form in many varieties of Spanish.

Usage and regional presence: In Spain, cordobés/cordobesa is the predominant spelling. In parts of Latin America, regional variants can occur, including cordobeño/cordobeña, but cordobés/cordobesa remains prevalent in formal writing and standard dictionaries. Cordobeña may also appear in fictional works or biographical notes to reflect a local identity.
