Earth

From WikiNarnia, the Narnian Encyclopedia

You may be looking for "earth" (lowercase).

Earth, also called The Earth or Planet Earth, is the homeworld of the Pevensie children, as well as all humans, and specifically, all the original children who accessed Narnia through the Wood between the Worlds. The only sentient species of Earth are human beings. The numerous other humans, including the very first humans in the World of Narnia, all originally came from Earth.

In Narnia, Earth is known as the World of the Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve since the improper noun "earth" simply means the ground or a place below the world's crust. In fact, "Earthmen" are Narnian gnomes who live in the Narnian underworld (not at all inhabitants of the Planet Earth).
