it would make sense if they were the only variation of humans, but they’re not. Humans from Kul’tiras are called Kul’tirans (after their city/country). Gilnean humans (aka worgen) are called Gilneans (after their city/country). so why dont humans from stormwind have a name thats derived from their nationality? i just find it strange how all they’re called is “human”, since with all the different variations of their race, the word “human” is no longer enough to differentiate stormwind humans as a separate race.
i mean look at the elves for instance. they’re all elves, but they’re seperated into different categories.
night elves = darnassian elves
blood elves = thalassian elves
void elves = thalassian elves
nightborne = shallassian elves

They should be called Filthy Humans.

Because calling them Stormwindians would be a bit awkward.

To be fair, most people probably call Kul Tirans “humans” as well, because they are.
but Blowhards would be very appropriate and descriptive of a ‘storm’s wind’

Maybe because “Stormwindians” or “Stormwinders” is too goofy so humans is better, esp. since so many races are in SW.
Well the bottom half of the Eastern kingdoms is called Azeroth. So… Azerothians?

i guess it’s just a relic of the older games they didn’t bother changing
Then people would whinge about them even harder. “Look, look, the devs love Humans so much they’re named after the whole planet. UGGGHHHH.”
but if you think about it, shouldnt they be named after their country rather then their city? and since stormwind is located in elwwyn forest, that would mean they’d be called elwynians? idk.
certainly better then stormwindians, but azerothian really refers to all the races of azeroth, rather then just the humans
Pretty sure they are Arathorians or Azotha, these are actually the ancestors of humans in Warcraft but Blizzards writing sucks so they can’t think of anything to put them out there.
Well, they’re still humans, so who cares at this point.
To be fair, their kingdom was called Azeroth during the first war. It was only after that that the whole world was also called Azeroth.

Better than
‘vanilla humans’, ‘dead humans’ ‘furry humans’ ‘fat humans’.
Well it’s all confusing, their continent is called Azeroth, their area is called Azeroth, and their planet is called Azeroth.
“Sire, what should we call this street?”
“Hmm… Azeroth!”
“A just name my liege!”
