Artemio is the Spanish and Italian form of Greek Artemios, tied to the goddess Artemis and the adjective artemēs, “safe, sound.” Through Latin Artemius it entered Christian name lists, giving senses like “devoted to Artemis” and “healthy, intact.” Variants include Greek Artemios, Latin/English Artemius, Russian Artyom/Artem, and Portuguese Artêmio; related feminines are Artemis and Artemisia. Spanish nicknames sometimes shorten to Temo.

Linked to the 4th-century martyr Saint Artemius of Antioch, the name spread in the Byzantine world and passed into Romance usage via church calendars. Artemio appears in Italy, Spain, and Latin America, and in the Philippines through Spanish influence, but remains rare in English. Notable bearers include Artemio Ricarte, a Philippine revolutionary, and Artemio Franchi, Italian football administrator. The name suggests vigor and protection with a classical, pan-Mediterranean flavor.
