What name can I use in place of "American" for the nationality of a person from the United States of America?

As the word "American" primarily refers to someone from the United States and not generally to all people of the Americas, it denies non-"Americans" the use of that word. It also leaves us in the United States with a vague label. I like the Spanish word "estadounidense" (a poor translation could be United Statesian) - yes, there are still other countries like the United States of Mexico, but they use the term "Mexican". Can anyone think of a better word that could be put to use? Maybe even just for fun.
