And wouldn't we actually really say that the guys in Arnor were the Dunedain?

Yes, the remnants of the people of Arnor became the Dunedain (Rangers) that protected the Shire, among other things.
Gondorians, on the other hand, became a bit more "fruitful".
At least that's how I understand it.

And wouldn't we actually really say that the guys in Arnor were the Dunedain?In their entirety? I don't think so. Although it does seem that the term 'Dunedain' eventually came to refer almost exclusively to the Rangers.

Hey, I was looking for a clipping on the subject in my drafts and came across this little tidbit. I wrote it about a year or more ago. Has nothing to do with the movie pirates of late. But I thought you'd like it anyway.

Weaving corral hullworks with the busy of a bee
Casting topside coiffure to a barnacled tiara
Crackling deep inside her keep she'll weather come t'marah
