Bohemiam was used to describe certain musicians or people considered Bohemians in style or actions as showned below.
Bohemians are inhabitants of Bohemia, Czech Republic. The term used to designate inhabitants of the former Kingdom of Bohemia, located in the modern day Czech Republic. The name derived from the Latin term for the Celtic tribe (Boii) inhabiting that area (Tacitus: Boiohaemum) in the early Middle Ages. The word "Bohemians" was never used by the local Czech population. In Czech, the region was since early Middle Ages called only "Äechy" - Bohemia or "Královstvà Äeské" - Kingdom of Bohemia, and its mainly Czech-speaking inhabitants "ÄeÅ¡i".
In other European vernaculars and in Latin (Bohemi) the word "Bohemian" or its derivates was used to designate all inhabitants of Bohemia. If the Czech ethnic origin was to be stressed, combinations like "Bohemian of Bohemian language", "a real Bohemian" etc. were used.
The term "Bohemian" was often used to describe the inhabitants of the Austrian Empire's province of Bohemia. This could include a number of ethnicities, including Austrian Germans, Czechs, Roma, Poles, Hungarians, and Slovaks.

My dictionary says; 1 - a native or inhabitant of Bohemia, a former kingdom; a Czech 2 - a person, especially an artist or writer, who lives an unconventional life 3 - unconventional in appearance, behaviour, etc.
I guess 2 and 3 apply to Freddie Mercury of Bohemian Rhapsody fame...
