Etymology

Lemurian comes from Lemuria, the name people gave in the 1800s to a supposed lost land, and Lemuria itself was named after the animal lemur, which gets its name from a Latin word meaning 'ghost'. So Lemurian now describes things connected to that imagined land and its spiritual or New Age ideas.
