Older or suspect etymological theories from Wikipedia[edit]
Moved from the entry, because they seem outdated:
- "In the 17- and 1800s, Johann Theodor Jablonski suggested the name was also found in Phrygian as Artemas, which Charles Anthon suggested derived from an Iranian root *arta ("great"),[1]"
... but Artemas is more likely a simple derivation (via Artemidoros, "gift of Artemis") of Artemis.[2]
- "In the 1800s, Anton Goebel suggested "the root στρατ or ῥατ, "to shake", and makes Artemis mean the thrower of the dart or the shooter".[3]
- "Another suggestion relates the name to ᾰ̓́ρκτος (árktos, “bear”)[4] and the goddess to wider bear-worship in early Europe / the Mediterrannean, and connect her to the Cretan Britomartis."
