Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (“not”) + *weyd- (“see”), literally “that which is unseen”, equivalent to ἀ- (a-) + εἶδον (eîdon). Compare ἀϊδής (aïdḗs, “invisible”).
Puhvel (1987) argues that it is from *sm̥weyd- (from *sm̥- (compounding stem) + *weyd- (“see”), literally “see-together” or “uniter”), equivalent to ἁ- (ha-) + εἶδον (eîdon), cognate with Russian свида́ние (svidánije, “see each other”), and partly in Sanskrit संगमनं जनानां (saṃgamanaṃ janānāṃ, literally “ingatherer of people”), where *weyd- is replaced with *gʷem-.

Uncertain. Attested from an early date as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀳𐀖𐀵 (a-te-mi-to) and Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀴𐀖𐀳 (a-ti-mi-te); this and its alternation of e and i led Beekes and Georgios Babiniotis to suggest the name is from a Pre-Greek substrate. A connection to Anatolian names has also been suggested; Artemis was venerated in Lydia as Artimus. 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”). Others compare Artemis to the Cretan Britomartis, with whom she was syncretized.

(Greek mythology) Artemis, one of the Greek goddesses.

Alternatively, the deity may be of Indo-European origin; see Sanskrit पूषन् (pūṣan, “Pushan, literally ‘nourisher’”), a Vedic god associated with guarding and multiplying cattle, from Proto-Indo-European *péh₂-us-ōn from *peh₂-.

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *snewbʰ- (“to marry, to wed”), and compared with Latin nūbō (“to marry”) (whence English nubile). However, Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek origin, as the preceding theory does not explain the origin of the inner nasal -μ- (-m-); others including Kretschmer have also argued for substrate origin, comparing the proper name Νυμφασία (Numphasía).

Greek: Απόλλων (Apóllon), Απόλλωνας (Apóllonas)

→ Latin: Apollō

→ Russian: Аполло́н (Apollón)

Uncertain. Possibly from Pre-Greek, or from an older, obsolete verb meaning "to drive away," as in evil (via Klein from Usener). Plato in Cratylus connects it to ἀπόλλυμι (apóllumi, “to destroy”), ἀπολούων (apoloúōn, “washing”), ἀπολύων (apolúōn, “delivering”), ἁπλοῦν (haploûn, “simple”), and ἀειβάλλων (aeibállōn, “always shooting”). Plotinus, in Ennead V.5.6.26-30, claims that Pythagoreans derived it from ἀ- (a-) and πολῠ́ς (polús) to render Απόλλων, literally "one without parts," as a 'symbol' of the Monad.
Sometimes said to derive from *Apeljōn to synchronize the Arcadocypriot and Doric variations with the Hittite deity Apaliunas, Hittite 𒀀𒀊𒉺𒇷𒌋𒈾𒀸 (A-ap-pa-li-u-na-aš).

→ Messapic: 𐌀𐌐𐌓𐌏𐌃𐌉𐌕𐌀 (aprodita)

The theonym is found in Homer and Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.).
Traditionally it has been viewed as a compound, ἀφρός (aphrós, “sea foam, froth”) + -δίτη (-dítē), connecting the first part with the legend of the goddess' birth. This has not been accepted by modern scholars.
There is no etymology generally accepted in scholarship. Some such as Beekes propose that the name in its entirety is a loan from a non-Greek language, of probable "oriental origin", possibly Cypriot Phoenician (such as in the Idalion bilingual). A connection to Akkadian 𒀭𒈹 (ᵈIštar) has been further proposed.
An older, now rejected proposal of a Greek etymology connects -δίτη (-dítē) with the verb δέατο (déato, “to shine, to appear, seem”) (Homeric δῆλος (dêlos, “visible, conspicuous, clear”)) and interprets the name as originating from an epithet of the dawn goddess Ἠώς (Ēṓs).
Associated by the Romans with Venus, originally a goddess of less meaning and prominence.

Latin: Arēs

→ Russian: Аре́с (Arés), Аре́й (Aréj)

Coptic: ⲁⲣⲏⲥ (arēs)

Usually derived from the Ionic word ἀρή (arḗ, “bane, ruin”), which could be related to Sanskrit इरस्या (irasyā, “malevolence”), suggesting a Proto-Indo-European origin.
However, Morris Silver and Pierre Chantraine propose a derivation from ἄρος (áros, “use, profit, help”) instead.
𐀀𐀩 (a-re), found in Linear B, is thought to be the oldest attested form of the name.

Latin: Demeter

→ Russian: Деме́тра (Demétra)

The second half is generally believed to be μήτηρ (mḗtēr, “mother”). The first element, δᾶ (dâ), is classically explained as the Attic/Ionic variant of an archaic Doric form of γῆ (gê, “earth”); other theories include a connection with Albanian dhe (“earth”) or χθών (khthṓn, “ground, earth”).
The supposed Aeolic form Δωμάτηρ (Dōmátēr) is only attested through a reconstructed inscription from the 2nd century B.C. in Aigai. The inscription reads []ω[]ατρος ([]ō[]atros), which has been read, as reported in Richard Bohn's "Altertümer von Aegae" as a genitive form of Δωμάτηρ (Dōmátēr). However, as Chantraine says, "The dialectal forms, notably Δωμάτηρ (Dōmátēr), don't offer any help to etymology," and it's disputable whether the inscription reads as such.

Coptic: ⲇⲓⲟⲛⲩⲥⲟⲥ (dionusos)

Greek: Διόνυσος (Diónysos)

Latin: Dionȳsus

Attested in Mycenaean Greek (13th to 12th century B.C.E.) as 𐀇𐀺𐀝𐀰 (di-wo-nu-so). Dialectal variants include Διένῡσος (Diénūsos), Δεύνῡσος (Deúnūsos), Δίννῡσος (Dínnūsos) and others.
Popular etymology often connected it with Διός (Diós), the genitive of Ζεύς (Zeús, “Zeus”).
The dio- forms are probably built by analogy from an original stem die-. The compound die-nūs-os is analysed as from a verbal stem die- (from δίεμαι (díemai, “to chase, to impel”)). The nūs- element gave rise to a toponym Νῦσα (Nûsa, “Nysa”), a mountain where the god was nursed by nymphs (the Nysiads, Nysa is also the name given to one of these nymphs). According to the testimony of Pherecydes of Syros (6th c. B.C.E.), nūsa is a word for "tree". Janda (Die Musik nach dem Chaos, 2010) suggests an original meaning of "impeller of the (world-)tree" (the axis mundi), connecting the god with archaic cosmology. The close association or indeed identity of Dionysus with a tree (especially the fig tree) is well attested in the classical period.

desc

→ Old Armenian: Եւրոպա (Ewropa), Եւրոպիա (Ewropia)

Uncertain, but either from:
* εὐρύς (eurús) + ὤψ (ṓps), literally meaning "wide face" (as a description of the beauty of the mythical Europa) or "broad eye" (metaphorically meaning something like "as far as the eye can see")
* Semitic origin; compare also Ἀσία (Asía), related to
** Akkadian 𒀭𒌓𒋙𒀀 (ᵈUD.ŠU₂.A /erebu, erbu/, “direction of the setting sun, occident, west”)
** Phoenician 𐤏𐤓𐤁 (ʿrb /ʿereb/, “evening”)
** Hebrew מַעֲרָב (maʿărāḇ, “occident, west”)
** Classical Syriac ܡܥܪܒܐ (maʿrəḇā, “occident, west”)
** Arabic غَرْب (ḡarb, “occident, west”) and غُرُوب (ḡurūb, “setting of the sun”)
** and specifically Aramaic עֲרוּבְתָּא f (ʿărūḇtā, “sunset; eve; Sabbath eve; Friday; Venus, Aphrodite”) of which the absolute state עֲרוּבָא f (ʿărūḇā) in the relevant Northwest Semitic chronolect and isolect would have lacked begedkefet and the second vowel /ɔː/
* From a separate Semitic root related to guarantees and exchanges, found in Arabic عَرَبُون (ʕarabūn, “down payment”), Hebrew בֶּן‑עֲרֻבָּה (ben‑ʿărubbāh, “hostages”), Classical Syriac ܥܪܘܒܐ (ˁārōḇā, “hostages”), stemming from mythology in which Europa is famously abducted; see the story of Cadmus, a figure also with Semitic associations, who seeks after his kidnapped sister.

458 BC, Aeschylus (aut.), H.W. Smyth (ed., tr.), Ἀγαμέμνων in Aeschylus…in two volumes II: Agamemnon (1926), ll. 1,521–1,530

[Neither do I think he met an ignoble death.] And did he not himself by treachery bring ruin on his house? Yet, as he has suffered — worthy prize of worthy deed — for what he did to my sweet flower, shoot sprung from him, the sore-wept Iphigenia, let him make no great boasts in the halls of Hades, since with death dealt him by the sword he has paid for what he first began. ― tr. ibidem

Possibly composed of the Proto-Indo-European elements *pers-o- (“sheaf of corn, grain, seed”, whence also Sanskrit पर्ष (parṣá-) and perhaps Latin porrum) + *gʷʰn̥-t- (“to strike down, slay”, compare φόνος (phónos, “killer”)) + *-eh₂ (a suffix of feminine agent nouns), thus originally meaning “female thresher of corn”. Compare Rigvedic पर्षान् हन्ति (parṣā́n hanti, “to thresh ears of corn”). Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *pers-é-bʰ(h₂)n̥t-ih₂ (“she who brings the light through”), akin to Albanian Prenda.
