There is lore that both supports Miqo'te once living on the southern continent of Meracydia, which they abandoned after the ravishes of the Allagan War left much of the continent a desolate wasteland to this very day, but other sources place migratory tribes of Miqo'te in southern Ilsabard and the Near East, forced northwards there during the twilight of the Allagan Empire. While the Ilsabardian origin makes very little sense, as outlined in the link, it's still one valid origin of many Miqo'te tribes, and unfortunately we won't know more until Fernehalwes gives us a ruling on the topic.
I'll go ahead and drop lore on Meracydia below, and info on the Near East is coming next.

*The theory that Limsa was founded by Meracydians was officially debunked.
Interesting tidbit, but maybe that peculiar passage is not actually speaking of the same event? What prevents the main miqo'te migration to happen out of Meracydia during the Endless Frost, while another happens in Ilsabard, at the same time or after, whatever?
In short, maybe there were several miqo'te migratory waves during that umbral era?
