Etymology
Bohemianism comes from Bohemia, a region in central Europe, because French speakers used bohémien meaning 'from Bohemia' for Romani travellers they wrongly thought came from there. That idea of living freely and outside usual rules later described poor, creative artists, so bohemianism now means an unconventional, artistic way of life.
