Artemis
AR-tuh-mis
A classical Greek name tied to the virgin goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and moon.
Meaning
Artemis is a Greek mythological name, best known as the name of the Greek goddess Artemis. The excerpts point to related names meaning "gift of Artemis," and connect Artemis with Diana and the epithet Delia, but they do not give a literal etymology for Artemis itself. In modern use, the name is understood chiefly through the goddess rather than a transparent word meaning.
Origin

Fun fact
In the excerpted books, people who liked classical names sometimes formed names such as Artemidora/Artemisias from Artemis, meaning "gift of Artemis."
