Artameenes is Persian in Origin.

Artameenes is a rare, elaborate form of Artamenes, a name filtered through Greek and French from Iranian roots. It likely combines Old Persian arta- “truth, right order” with a second element rendered in Greek as -menes (cf. Eumenes), linked either to ménos “spirit, vigor” or to Iranian manah “mind,” yielding senses such as “righteous spirit” or “one of righteous mind.” The double‑e spelling is a modern Anglicization that lengthens the medial vowel.

The name appears in classical-inflected literature; most prominently, Artamène is the alias of Cyrus the Great in the 17th‑century French saga Artamène ou le Grand Cyrus by Madeleine and Georges de Scudéry, which helped circulate the form in Europe. Usage as a given name has remained extremely uncommon. Variants include Artamenes, Artamène (Fr.), Artamene, and Artemenes; diminutives or nicknames might be Arta, Artie, or Mene. Related Persian “Arta‑” names share the core idea of righteousness.
