Seán or Eoin
No, it is not. It is the real Irishman's name.
Probably to emphasize the character's almost transhuman superiority (he is a genius...) and specifically, his darker intent (...and a criminal mastermind). I say this last part because Artemis was the goddess of the moon. As to why a male character was given a female name, I'm afraid I don't know.
