The name Artunis means:

Truthful, Righteous, and Faithful.

Distinguished from conventional law firms, Artunis departs from personal namesakes. Instead, it draws inspiration from Lieutenant Artunis, a courageous woman with a pivotal role in Ancient Persian military, symbolizing gender equality and breaking traditional norms. Artunis embodies principles of gender equality, freedom, and human rights. And Artunis reflects our commitment to upholding these values at the highest level. Lieutenant Artunis was the Commander of the Achaemenid Persian Army and the daughter of Artebaz, Sepahbod (Lieutenant General) during the reign of Darius the Great. She was a mighty brave woman.
