Bohemian

From Prague's region

Bohemian means of or relating to Bohemia, a historical region now part of the Czech Republic, or to its people and culture.

Bohemian glass and Bohemian crystal are prized for their quality.

The name gave rise to the lowercase sense because Romani people, mistakenly thought to come from Bohemia, were associated with wandering, unconventional lives. (Lowercase bohemian describes an artistic, unconventional lifestyle.)
