Bohemia
central European kingdom, mid-15c., Beeme, from M.Fr. Boheme "Bohemia," from L. Boiohaemum (Tacitus), from Boii, the Celtic people who settled in what is now Bohemia (and were driven from it by the Germanic Marcomans early 1c.; sing. Boius, fem. Boia, perhaps lit. "warriors") + PIE *haimaz "home." Attested
from 1861 in meaning "community of artists and social Bohemians" or in reference to the district where they live (see Bohemian).
