Der Terminus Matriarchat ist ein Kunstwort, das im deutschen Sprachraum erstmals Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auftauchte,[8] in Anlehnung an die bis dahin gebräuchlichen Begriffe Mutterrecht und Gynaikokratie. Es setzt sich zusammen aus lateinisch mater ‚Mutter' und altgriechisch archein ‚herrschen' beziehungsweise ‚walten' oder auch altgriechisch ????, arché. Im Neugriechischen bedeutet arché ‚Macht, Herrschaft'; im Altgriechischen ‚Beginn, Anfang'Die Anfänge der Theorien zu Matriarchaten entstammen rechtshistorischen und ethnologischen Beiträgen des 18. und des 19. Jahrhunderts.[9] Der historische Materialismus (aber auch schon Bachofen) versteht das Matriarchat als eine allgemeine und notwendige Stufe der Gesellschaften der Ur- und Frühgeschichte.[10] Im 20. Jahrhundert gehörten sie zum Bestand marxistisch orientierter Kulturwissenschaften.[11] Dabei wurden auch schwärmerische Elemente mit historischen Tatsachen verbunden, um einen Gegenentwurf zur patriarchalischen Struktur westlicher Industriegesellschaften zu gewinnen. Das Patriarchat wurde weitgehend für soziale Zustände und moralische sowie psychologische Haltungen und Zwänge verantwortlich gemacht und das Matriarchat dabei entweder positiv als utopischer Urzustand der Gesellschaft oder abwertend als rückschrittliche Kulturstufe gedeutet.
Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert luden zahlreiche Wissenschaftsdisziplinen, kulturelle, soziale und religiöse Strömungen den Begriff -- oft unter der Bezeichnung „Mutterrecht" -- mit immer wieder anderen Vorstellungen und Inhalten auf und verwendeten ihn in dem jeweiligen historischen und kulturellen Zusammenhang entsprechend ihrer Weltanschauung. Es wurde auch darüber gestritten, ob es sich bei dem Matriarchat um Fakten oder Wunsch- bzw. Angstbilder handelt.[4] Es ist weitgehender Forschungskonsens, dass „sich das Matriarchat als Mutterherrschaft spiegelbildlich zum Patriarchat historisch nicht nachweisen lässt".[5] Synonyme für Matriarchat sind die heute kaum mehr verwendeten Begriffe Mutterrecht und Gynäkokratie[6] (z. B. Johann Jakob Bachofen); für matriarchal sind gebräuchlich: matriarchalisch, matrizentrisch (z. B. Marija Gimbutas) und matristisch (z. B. Wilhelm Reich). In Abgrenzung dazu beschreiben die verwandtschaftsethnologischen Begriffe matrilinear, matrilokal, uxorilokal Abstammungs- und Wohnsitzregeln. Mit Matrifokalität wird in der Ethnologie eine zentrale Rolle von Müttern in matrilinearen, patrilinearen oder anderen Verwandtschaftssystemen bezeichnet.
