"Ἄρτεμις" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Ἄρτεμις in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ár.te.mis/, /ˈar.te.mis/, /ˈar.te.mis/, /ár.te.mis/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈar.te.mis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈar.te.mis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈar.te.mis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈar.te.mis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: 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.

  "etymology_text": "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.",
