Lunite

Where it comes from

From Lun(a) (“the Moon”) + -ite.

noun Lunites

archaic Synonym of Lunarian (“inhabitant of the Moon”). "Our situation," Lamar remarked, "is similar to that which a Lunite might have encountered had he visited New England in 1690. Any wretch who claimed ancestry among the people of the moon in those days, would have been convicted of witchcraft and burned at the stake without mercy."
Similar: Lunarian
