The meaning of the name Artemis remains uncertain, but scholars propose several origins: it is often linked to the Greek word artemēs, meaning "safe," "uninjured," "pure," or "healthy," suggesting the goddess is inviolate and grants health to others. Other theories connect the name to árktos (Greek for "bear"), reflecting ancient bear cults and totemic rituals, or to an ancient Persian root arta meaning "great," "excellent," or "holy."

 

While the etymology is debated, the name is historically associated with the Greek goddess who embodies the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, chastity, and childbirth. In some interpretations, the name has been linked to artamos, meaning "butcher," highlighting her role as a fierce huntress, though this is considered a folk etymology rather than a definitive origin.
