Cantabrigian (often shortened to Cantab) is an adjective that is used in two meanings: 1) to refer to what is of or pertaining to Cambridge University, located in Cambridge, England;[1][2] or 2) to refer to what is of or pertaining to the cities of Cambridge, England and Cambridge, Massachusetts.[3] The term is derived from Cantabrigia, a medieval Latin name for Cambridge invented on the basis of the Anglo-Saxon name Cantebrigge. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, the name "Cantabrigia" appears in the city seal[3] and (abbreviated to "Cantab") in the seal of the Episcopal Divinity School, located therein. The word Cantabrigia appears in the circular logo of the Cambridge Trust Company, a financial institution based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A pub in Cambridge, Massachusetts, called the Cantab Lounge is a play on this abbreviation. In England, the nickname "Tab" used by Oxonians (those affiliated with Oxford University) as a term of derision for those affiliated with Cambridge University, is a contraction of Cantabrigian. However, the word "Tab" is used neutrally by students of Cambridge to refer to themselves.{{fact|reason=I (User GKFX) am at Cambridge and I’ve never heard this. “Cantab” is (very) rarely used, is that what was meant?|date=August 2018}} It is also the name of one of the Rugby clubs based in Cambridge, England.
