Wikipedia

San is the plural form, used for the group collectively. Individuals are referred to as "a San man", "a San woman" etc., although when referring to individuals, reference to their specific nation is preferable (as in, "a ǃKung man" etc.).
San became popular in 1970s western anthropology as a politically correct replacement for "Bushmen", which was perceived as outdated. However, it turned out thatSan was a derogatory term for "foragers" used by the pastoralist Khoikhoi, while "Bushman" carried no derogatory connotations, so that experts who had been in actual contact with the group recommended the continued use of "Bushmen" (Henry Harpending). By the 2000s, it was reported thatSan had mostly lost its derogatory connotations in South Africa and was partly embraced as self-designation, while it continued to be perceived as an insult in parts of the central Kalahari in Namibia.^[2]

The old Dutch also did not know that their so-called Hottentots formed only one branch of a wide-spread race, of which the other branch divided into ever so many tribes, differing from each other totally in language[…] While the so-called Hottentots called themselves Khoikhoi (men of men,i.e. menpar excellence), they called those other tribesSā, the Sonqua of the Cape Records[…] We should apply the termHottentot to the whole race, and call the two families, each by the native name, that is the one, theKhoikhoi, the so-calleHottentot proper; the other theSān (Sā) orBushmen.
