Artemah is in Origin.
Artemah is a rare, modern variant in the Artemis/Artemas family of Greek names. It ultimately derives from the Greek theonym Artemis and the adjective artemes, meaning "safe, sound, unharmed," yielding senses such as "protected," "whole," or "devoted to Artemis." The -ah ending gives it a softly biblical profile in English but is a contemporary reshaping rather than a Hebrew form. The name can be used for any gender, with a slight feminine tilt in modern usage.
In historical threads, the masculine Artemas appears in the New Testament (Titus 3:12) and in Hellenistic and early Christian contexts, while Artemios/Artemius was borne by saints in the Eastern Church. Related forms include Artemis, Artemas, Artema, Artemia, Artemisia, Artemios/Artemius, Artemio, and Artyom/Artem. Diminutives and nicknames include Art, Artie, Tem, and Tema. Artemah remains uncommon in the Anglophone world, valued for its mythic resonance and gentle, archaic sound.
Artemah does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
