Demonyms

The demonym of Cintruénigo is cirbonero and cirbonera, applicable to the masculine and feminine respectively. This demonym comes from the 16th century in which Cintruénigo had an important increase in population due to inhabitants of the Sorian village of Cerbón, near Fuentes de Magaña also on the Alhama river, moved to Cintruénigo and created a neighbourhood that came to be called El barrio de los Cirboneros. This neighbourhood in time was swallowed by the village proper and the demonym extended to all the inhabitants surviving to the present.
