How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? - Brasil

Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?

AFAIK, the word “gringo” is used by latinos to refer to anyone from other countries, not specifically US citizens. But yeah, definitely gringo
