What is the meaning of the name Artemii ?

Artemii is Greek in Origin.

Artemii is the East Slavic scholarly transliteration of Артемий/Артемій, ultimately from Greek Artemios (Latin Artemius), a theophoric name linked to the goddess Artemis. Etymology points either to "devoted to Artemis" or to Greek artemēs, "safe, sound, unharmed," giving the name connotations of consecration and well-being.

The name entered Slavic usage through Byzantine and Church Slavonic tradition; veneration of the 4th-century Saint Artemius of Antioch anchored it in Orthodox calendars. In Russia and Ukraine the formal, liturgical Artemii long coexisted with the vernacular Artyom/Artem, which became the dominant everyday form in the 20th century, while Artemii persists in ecclesiastical and official registers. Variants and cognates include Artemiy/Artemy (Russian transliterations), Artsyom (Belarusian), Artemios (Greek), Artemius (Latin), Artemije (Serbian), and Artemio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese). Common Russian diminutives are Tyoma/Tema.
