As I'm from Glasgow, I assume I would be "glasguense" in Spanish. The city's main seat of learning is Universitas Glasguensis in Latin...

For the purposes of the article title/header, it may be better to leave it out in English, for the sake of brevity.

In my opinion, the full name of the "Church/Chapel of Our Lady of Charity" is also too long for an article title/heading, hence my "CHURCH OF CHARITY "suggestion; other options are also available.

NB: Some sources also translate JACOBO as JAMES, but I prefer to leave proper names in the original.

agree  Juan Jacob: Me mareaste... jeje. Bien, pero de Puerto Rico, es portorriqueño/puertorriqueño. Al menos por acá. Portuense no es común, según yo. Es porteño.

agree  Candace Barr: Also try "Port Saint Mary's"/"Puerto de Santa Maria's." For your purpose, the possessive may be a good fit.

agree  Robert Carter: My suggestion would be leave it out in the title, but use it in "Abstract: El Puerto native Jacobo Vanderheyden Lechuga is known for his..."

agree  Charles Davis: I wouldn't worry about long titles: no problem in academic articles. / Just checked: he was born there, so "native" is correct if you want to use that. // Not a maxim widely observed in academic circles, in my experience (esp. in Spain).
