Artemije is Greek, Serbian in Origin.

Artemije (Serbian Cyrillic Артемије) is the South Slavic and Serbian Orthodox form of Greek Artemios (Latin Artemius), ultimately linked to the goddess Artemis and the Greek adjective artemes, "safe, sound, unharmed." Through Byzantine and Church Slavonic liturgical use, the name entered medieval Serbian onomastics and persists as a traditional ecclesiastical given name. Cognates and variants include Greek Artemios, Latin Artemius, Russian Artemiy/Artemii and Artyom (Artem), Ukrainian Artemii, Bulgarian Artemiy, Macedonian Artemij, and Georgian Artemi; the feminine cognate is Artemisia.

Its prestige in the Orthodox world stems from the veneration of Saint Artemius of Antioch, a 4th-century martyr renowned in Byzantine hagiography and commemorated on 20 October. In Serbia the name appears in church records, among monks and bishops, and sees modest modern revival among families seeking pan-Orthodox heritage. Spelling is stable as Artemije in Latin script and Артемије in Cyrillic.
