Artemia
From Greek, the name gives the girl to Artemis, goddess of the hunt: it means "dedicated to Artemis" instead of describing her. In Poland it barely registers. Only five women carry it, and the birth records show no girl given it since 2000.
Artemia Pronunciation
Artemia is pronounced ahr-TEM-yah (/arˈtɛmja/).
What Artemia means
Where Artemia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Artemia has a Greek origin. The name is built from Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and its short meaning in English is "dedicated to Artemis." Greek families made names this way often, tying a newborn to a god through sound alone. The male name Artemidoros, "gift of Artemis," comes from the same practice.
Artemis governed forests, wild animals, and the hunt, and in later tradition the moon. A child named Artemia stood under that patronage from her first day. The name does not describe her. It assigns her.
On a Polish class register, Artemia would sit apart from the Zofias and Julias, plainly Greek in root. No Polish diminutive is fixed to it, and no name-day has worn it smooth by custom. What it offers is old and direct: the goddess Artemis, and the meaning "dedicated to Artemis."
When Artemia celebrates name day
Artemia appears 2 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 25 January.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
