Colin,

someone ( male, female respectively ) from Lyon. 

Same basic structure as, for example, ‘ un français, une française ‘.

Can refer to people native to the city, but also applied to people living in the city on a relatively long-term or permanent basis, who were not born there. 

Could someone tell me what the translation of ''un Lyonnais/une Lyonnaise'' is please. Many thanks.
