Countryman

Countryman is a term that can refer to a person who shares the same country of origin. In modern usage this meaning is often conveyed by words such as compatriot or fellow citizen. The term is built from country and man and may appear in historical or literary contexts to describe a person from the same nation. As a broad concept, it can also denote a sense of shared national identity or belonging in certain narratives.

Countryman also serves as a surname in English-speaking countries. Individuals bearing the surname have been documented in various regions, and, like many surnames, it can reflect ancestral origins or geographic associations. In encyclopedic and genealogical contexts the name is treated as a family name rather than a common noun.
