The term Martian refers to anyone from the planet Mars. Initially, the term was used in the early 20th century, when it was believed that Mars was inhabited, to describe the "little green men" who lived there.
In 1947, during the Roswell Incident, US Army General Rex Denning referred to the aliens discovered in a crashed flying saucer as Martians. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
Following the colonization of Mars, the term was used to describe the name of the very colony placed there; aptly named the Martian colonies. (DS9: "In the Cards")
