The invasions of the Sea People was closer to us in time than the Younger Dryas was to them. The timeline just doesn’t work.

Sorry, yes, I don't mean the invasions during the Bronze Age[1].

I have wondered though if the generic name for them suggests a general origin of the remnants of the Atlantic civilizations that were perhaps destroyed from the YDIE

EDIT: yeah fair, I hadn't read thoroughly on them. They're too far away in time to be reasonably related.

The generic name for them comes from... the fact that they are identified (in contemporary written sources) as coming in boats.

Trying to hypothesize instead that the name comes from their link to Atlantis fails Occam's Razor hard.
