"Hoosier" is used in the names of numerous Indiana-based businesses and organizations. "Hoosiers" is also the [[athletic nickname|name]] of the [[Indiana Hoosiers|Indiana University athletic teams]]. The term is universally accepted by residents of Indiana and, as of 2017, is also the official demonym used by the [[U.S. Government Publishing Office]] (GPO), making it the only GPO-recommended demonym of any US state that is not directly formed from the state's name. Before 2017, the GPO-recommended demonym for the state was "Indianian".[{{Cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/01/12/hoosiers-indianians-government-printing-office-style-guide-indiana/96461434/ |title=Don't Call Them Indianians; They're Hoosiers |last=Groppe |first=Maureen |date=January 12, 2017 |work=[[USA Today]] |publisher=[[Gannett]] |access-date=August 31, 2017 |archive-date=October 20, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020085344/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/01/12/hoosiers-indianians-government-printing-office-style-guide-indiana/96461434/ |url-status=live }}] |
