Meaning & Origin of Artemis
Origin: Ancient Greek (deeper root uncertain).
A common claim: Artemis is often said to mean 'goddess of the hunt/moon' or 'huntress'. Actually: That describes her mythological role, not a literal translation of the name — scholars genuinely don't agree on what the word 'Artemis' itself derives from.
