[Opinions] Amarisia

I was looking into the name Artemide realizing it is what the Italians call Artemis and I saw that one of Artemis' epithets is Amarisia. What do you think of Amarisia as a name? I think it's pronounced ah-mar-eez-ee-ah

I'm having some trouble because of the Italian but I think the epithet is implying that she is Artemis of Amarynthos. So it would kinda be like a place name title. Amarisie is the name of the festival for Artemis Amarisia.

I think it's lovely! It would definitely be on my list of it had a little more history as a given name, and it's funny that it's connected to Artemis, because the first thing I thought of when I saw your post was the name Artemisia, or more specifically Artemisia Gentileschi. Mirusia Louwerse jumped to mind, too.

I would be very, very happy to meet a little Amarisia.

Yeah when I first saw it I thought it was some combination of my name Marisa and Artemisia. Then I was a little sad when I realized it wasn't a name but a title. It sounds and looks like a name though.
