Artema is Greek in Origin.

Artema is a rare feminine given name of Greek origin, part of the Artemis name family. Artemis, goddess of the hunt and protector of youth, is linked to Greek artemēs, “safe, sound, unharmed.” On that base, Artema can mean “of Artemis” or “safe/pure.” The form sits alongside the masculine Artemas (Ἀρτεμᾶς) and the feminine Artemia (Ἀρτεμία), both current in the Greek world and later in Latin.

Use is sparse in English but known in Orthodox and Mediterranean traditions, where theophoric Artemis-names persisted. The New Testament’s Artemas, a companion of Paul, kept the family visible in Christian eras. Variants and cognates include Artemia, Artemis, Artemisa (Spanish/Portuguese), Artemisia (Italian/English), and Slavic Artemiya/Artemija; masculine counterparts are Artemas, Artemios/Artemius, Artemio, and Artyom/Artemy. Artema offers a sleek, myth-inflected alternative to the better-known Artemisia.
