Help[Opinions] Um... there is no masculine deritivite of Artemis.
in reply to a message by Jen
Whre did you get that? Artemis is the original name of the Greek Goddess, which just used most often for men for some reason. Artemisia is merely an elaborate form of it.

There aren't any on this site. But there is the Greek male name Artemas and the Latin equivalent Artemus, which are derived from the goddess name. It's probably through confusion with those that "Artemis" has been given to men.

I think...
... Jen was referring to Artemisios, which is in Artemisia's hyperlink. I've always simply considered Artemisia an elaborated form, though.
