The first use of the name 'Maankijkeland' in a geographic sense predates any [[Vistaraland|Vistari]] colonial efforts in the region itself, with multiple sources agreeing the name arose during the mid to late 1600s. Originating as a more vague term referring to the lands of mainland East Gondwana to the south of the [[Durdanini|Durdish]] tribes, the name came about as a misnomer, a translation of the Durdish misconception that those who resided there were worshippers of Olune. This led to the [[Vistaraland|Vistari]] referring to the people there as 'Maankijkers', meaning Moongazers, leading to the ascribing of the name Maankijkeland a name which solidified and became more specific during the Vistari colonization of the region.
