Artemis
Meaning of Artemis
Artemis is a lively Greek name—think “AR-tuh-mis”—that once belonged to the moon-gazing goddess of the hunt and now happily answers to boys and girls alike. It carries the cool glow of lunar nights, the courage of a forest archer, and, thanks to NASA’s Artemis rockets, the thrill of tomorrow’s spacewalks. Pop culture tosses in a white talking cat from Sailor Moon and a fierce Amazon from the DC universe, so the name never feels dusty. Slip it into an Indian household and it stands tall beside names like Aarav or Meera, radiating the same fearless grace we admire in Maa Durga. Not yet a chart-topper, Artemis is climbing quietly—like a kite catching the Delhi breeze—and promises any child who wears it the spirit to wander, wonder, and shoot for the stars.
