I suppose it would mean "civilized races".you also have to remember that the description of the Fat Chocobo states that it is refered to as Large and In Charge. Those tidbits are supposed to be humorous more than anything in my experience. So, it is a case of trying to decide which bits are indeed actual lore or just something of a joke.
They are different species, otherwise. There is a tidbit of lore (I think it's in a minion's description) that the common scholarly consensus is that Miqo'te evolved from a common ancestor that they share with couerls.
