Artimis (spelled a bit different)

Used in: English and Greek speaking countries

Additional info:
The meaning of Artemis is not certain. It may be from 'artemes' (strong-limbed), or 'artao' (I cut up) - the Spartans called her Artamis. Or her name may be from 'airo themis' (lofty convenor, or lofty water). Artemis was the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt. Twin to Apollo, Artemis was a patron of virgins and hunters. She is therefore both butcher and protectress, though it is uncertain whether either of these words truly contribute to her name. In later legend, she was conflated with Diana, Roman goddess of the moon. She is also known as Phoebe (related to Apollo's title "Phoebus) and Cynthia (as she was born on Mount Cynthus).



Yes, he's a boy with a girls name :D
Quick name-meaning change time! You named him after Artemus Gordon, the brilliant gadgeteer and master of disguise, of 'Wild Wild West' fame. The Wild Wild West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You just changed the spelling. Problem solved. :p
