• Definition 1 is the common meaning.
• Definition 2 is more modern and imported from English. It is more commonly used in Spain than in the Americas.
• Definition 3 is very rarely used, the term indiano being more common.
• It is primarily in the United States where americano is currently used in reference to the United States. Otherwise, in Spanish americano is always used in reference to the Americas. For the United States (country) in particular, the more precise term is estadounidense.
• The usage of the term norteamericano in reference to the United States is not strictly speaking, correct, as this term technically refers to North America (which includes Canada, United States, Mexico, and many other nations), however it is very commonly used in reference to the U.S.
