Yes, in general, for nouns ending with "es", you will add "es" at the end.
Here is a list of Spanish words used for people of various nationalities.
The names of nationalities can be used as either adjectives or nouns. They are listed here in the first-person masculine form. The feminine form of those ending in -o is made by changing the -o to an -a.
Nationalities ending in -és can be made feminine by changing the ending to -esa. Thus the feminine form of inglés is inglesa. Nationalities in other endings don't have separate masculine and feminine forms.
Note that the words used for nationalities aren't capitalized in Spanish.
