[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain.[1] Attested from an early date as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀳𐀖𐀵 (a-te-mi-to) and Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀴𐀖𐀳 (a-ti-mi-te);[2] this and its alternation of e and i led Beekes and Georgios Babiniotis to suggest the name is from a Pre-Greek substrate.[3][4] A connection to Anatolian names has also been suggested;[5][6] Artemis was venerated in Lydia as Artimus.[7] Ancient Greek writers, by way of folk etymology, linked the name (found in Doric as Artamis) to ἄρταμος (ártamos, “butcher”) or ἀρτεμής (artemḗs, “safe, unharmed; pure; maiden”).[8] Others compare Artemis to the Cretan Britomartis, with whom she was syncretized.
