The Story of Artemio
Artemio is the Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese form of Artemios, a Greek name derived from Artemis (Ἄρτεμις), the Greek goddess of the hunt, moon, and wilderness. The exact etymology of Artemis is debated — it may relate to the Greek 'artemes' meaning 'safe and sound,' or 'artamos' meaning 'butcher' (in the sense of a hunter). Saint Artemios (also known as Artemius) was a 4th-century Roman military commander and martyr, which spread the name through early Christianity.
Artemio has been a consistent traditional name in Spanish-speaking Latin America, particularly in Mexico, Colombia, and Spain, for centuries due to the veneration of Saint Artemios. In literary history, Artemio Cruz is the protagonist of Carlos Fuentes' landmark 1962 Mexican novel 'The Death of Artemio Cruz.' The name remains traditional rather than trendy.
In Greek mythology, Artemis was one of the twelve Olympians — goddess of the hunt, protector of young women, and twin sister of Apollo. Her power and independence made Artemis a revered figure. In early Christian tradition, Saint Artemios of Antioch was venerated as a healer of hernia and was executed by Emperor Julian the Apostate. His feast day is October 20.
