A proper categorization is "Louisianian." However most Southerners refer to them as "those crazy Cajuns". The name is a shortening of Arcadian, and the original Arcadians were forcibly settled from Canada as I remember. The poem "Evangeline" commemorates the event. The name is actually Acadian, since their country was Acadia. The British forced the Acadians out of their homes and many ended up in Louisiana. It is now called Nova Scotia, part of Canada.

People from Louisiana are called Louisianans.

However, it is not unusual to hear people (even natives) say Louisianians which is a variant but a technically inferior form (compare to Iowans, Nevadans).

Someone from Louisiana would be called a Louisianan.

On the lighter side,

Tim, Barty, Jim, Lois, Mary, Shaquisha... etc. I mean, pretty much their names.
