"Telmarine" can also be used to describe anything from, like, or relating to Telmar, its people, or its culture. The term Telmarine-Narnian also came about to refer to the descendants of the humans of Telmar who occupied the Kingdom of Narnia after the Telmarine Conquest in Narnian-year 1998. The name "Telmar" could come from the Greek word Tel, which means "Far", and Mare the Latin word for "Sea". Since Telmarines come from far away, and they are actually descendants of pirates, this would seem to fit.
