I think you refer to the "Apollo" missions, in which case:
The program was named after the Greek god of light and music by NASA manager Abe Silverstein, who later said that "I was naming the spacecraft like I'd name my baby." Dr. Silverstein recalls he chose the name after perusing a book of mythology at home one evening, early in 1960. He thought that the image of "Apollo riding his chariot across the Sun was appropriate to the grand scale of the proposed program.
As well, the Apollo missions only put men on the Moon - there has never been a woman on the Moon.

Why weren't the American moon missions called Apollo instead of Artemis?
I think that the American Moon missions were called either Appollo, in which case I think someone told you something wrong but if they were called Artemis then it is because the british moon missions were called Artemis.
