What does Artemis mean?
/ˈɑɹ.tə.mɪs/3 syllablesOrigin: Ancient Greek

Artemis was the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and the moon, a fierce, independent figure often depicted with a bow and accompanied by hunting dogs. Her name has been used for centuries as a byword for wild grace and self-sufficiency.

Artemis suits a pet with a confident, independent streak and a love of the outdoors. It carries a wild, moonlit elegance that fits a companion who seems to answer to no one but themselves.
