What is the meaning of the name Artem ?

The baby name Artem is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈɑr.tɛm/ (AR-tem); Russian (Артём): /ɐrˈtʲom/ (ar-TYOM).

Artem is Greek in Origin.

Artem is the East Slavic form of the Greek Artemios, connected to the goddess Artemis and to the adjective artemes "safe, unharmed, sound". Through the cult of the 4th-century martyr Saint Artemios of Antioch, the name spread across the Byzantine and later Orthodox Slavic world, entering church calendars and maintaining steady use from medieval times into the present.

Modern usage centers in Russia and Ukraine, with Belarusian Artsyom (Арцём) and Russian Артём typically transliterated as Artyom or Artem - the latter common because the letter ё is often written as е in documents. Other variants include Artemy/Artemii, Greek Artemios, Latin Artemius, Italian/Spanish Artemio, and Romanian Artemie; feminine cognates are Artemis and Artemisia. Nicknames include Tyoma/Tema and Art. The meaning is interpreted as "healthy, whole", or "devoted to Artemis", giving Artem a calm, sturdy feel with classical depth.
