The term Yankee refers to those Americans from New England whose ancestors arrived from Great Britain before 1700; by extension it is applied to any resident of the Northeast (New England, Mid-Atlantic, and upper Great Lakes states), to any Northerner during and after the American Civil War, or to other citizens of the United States. In certain Commonwealth countries - notably UK, Australia and New Zealand - "Yank" refers to any American and is sometimes mistakenly applied to Canadians. Internationally, "Yank" is today roughly analogous to "Brit" (someone from the UK), "Aussie" (someone from Australia) or "Kiwi" (someone from New Zealand).
Yankee is a magazine published by Yankee Publishing Inc. of Dublin, New Hampshire.
