Artemi is a Greek name for girls. As the slightest variation from Artemis, it’s an ode to an ancient goddess, who is associated with the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, and nature. The etymology behind this moniker is a debated topic with no consensus to this day. While some say it could be related to “bear,” substantiated by the bear cult this goddess had, Plato likens it to “safe” and “pure,” in reference to her status as a virgin goddess and patron and protector of young children. Whether you’d like to keep your little one from harm’s way or you wish to impart your love of animals to them, Artemi will not disappoint. And if baby has a twin, all the more reason to go with this name. Just make sure to name the other Apollo for the proper pairing!
