Artemis was most likely named by her mother, the goddess Leto (a moon goddess), because Leto was the only one around when Artemis was born. Artemis's father was Zeus, and Hera (Zeus's wife) hated Leto because of that. Hera put a curse on Leto that said that Leto was not allowed to rest anywhere on solid ground. However, Leto made it to the island of Ortygia, where she gave birth to Artemis. Artemis then helped Leto deliver Apollo, Artemis's twin brother.
