Artemon
Almost no one in Poland carries it: just three men in all, and no boys born with it in years. From Greek, built on the name of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, so it reads as dedicated to her.
Artemon Pronunciation
Artemon is pronounced ahr-TE-mon (/arˈtɛmɔn/).
What Artemon means
Where Artemon comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Artemon comes from Greek. It grows from the name of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the wild. The short meaning stays close to that root: dedicated to the goddess Artemis. The link is old and literal. A boy called Artemon was placed under the sign of a divine huntress.
History gives the name a real bearer. Artemon of Cassandreia was a Macedonian grammarian who lived after 316 BCE. He worked among books, sorting them and assigning them to their proper authors, and Athenaeus records his name. So Artemon belonged to a scholar as much as to myth.
On a Polish class register the name stands apart, rare beside the Antonis and Franciszeks. It has no common Polish diminutive of its own, so it stays whole. That whole form points back to its origin: Artemis, the goddess it honours.
When Artemon celebrates name day
Artemon appears 2 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 26 April.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
