I have to wonder if these people have never heard of the mammal known as a lemur. I suppose "Lemur" is a valid term for "one who lived in Lemuria", but usually when making such word transformations, one would want to avoid a word with overriding silly connotations if there were a viable alternative ("Lemurian").

I now have horrible visions of Joey the Lemur (who was, in fact, not actually a lemur) romping through the ancient crystal grids of a lost civilization. (the splendiferous lemur, friend to all manKIIIIIIIIIND!)

"The name "Lemuria" is in fact derrived from the word "lemur.""

I knew that, actually, but I still don't think that it makes using the word "Lemur" as a word for the residents of the place any less silly.
