Meaning & History
Meaning uncertain, possibly of pre-Greek origin, but perhaps related to Greek ὄρθιος (orthios) which meant "straight up, steep, uphill" as well as "setting straight". This was the name of a pre-Greek goddess worshipped in the central Peloponnese and later identified with Artemis (called Artemis Orthia).
