Antwerpians

Machine-translated from the Dutch article

De sinjoren is the (nick)name for the inhabitants of Antwerp. The nickname 'sinjoren' for the Antwerpers dates from the period of the Eighty Years' War when the Spaniards occupied the city and many prominent inhabitants bore the Spanish title señor, meaning '(distinguished) gentleman'. In "'t stad", incidentally, only persons whose parents and ancestors were born in Antwerp are considered 'sinjoor'.
