Etymology
Artemisia gets its name from the Greek goddess Artemis, whose name can mean 'safe' or 'healthy' and who is linked with wild places and healing. Because people long used these strong, bitter, scented plants for medicine and they often grow in rough, dry places, the name Artemisia fits this group of herbs like wormwood and tarragon.
