Artemon
Definition
A rare masculine first name of ancient Greek origin (Artemon), derived from the name of the goddess Artemis or etymologically linked to the Hellenic term meaning 'whole', 'healthy', or 'protected'. In early Christian history, the name was borne by Saint Artemon, a martyr priest of Laodicea, while in theology it identifies Artemon of Rome, a 3rd-century heretical leader who denied Christ's pre-existent divinity. In ecclesiastical use and traditional Balkan onomastics, it appears sporadically as an archaic baptismal name.
