Temis

Temis is a name used in various contexts and languages. In many cases it is a variant transliteration of Themis, the Greek goddess of law, order, and justice.

In classical mythology, Themis is a Titaness, daughter of Gaia and Uranus, and the personification of divine law and custom. She is the mother of the Horae and the Moirai with Zeus. The spelling Temis appears in some ancient manuscripts and later traditions as an alternate form, but Themis remains the standard rendering in most English-language texts.

Geographically, Temis has been used as a place name in a few regions, reflecting linguistic variation in spelling and transliteration.

In contemporary usage, TEMIS is an acronym adopted by several organizations and research initiatives. The expansion of the acronym is project-specific and not standardized.

Because Temis has diverse meanings, the intended reference is usually clarified by context.
