Artemisa is Greek in Origin.

Artemisa is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Artemis/Artemisia, ultimately from Greek Ἄρτεμις. Most scholars connect it to Greek artemes, “safe, sound; whole,” matching the goddess’s protective role in childbirth, as well as her domains of the hunt and wilderness. The plant genus Artemisia - source of the Spanish common noun artemisa for mugwort/wormwood - also carries the name.

Attested since antiquity through figures like the Carian queens Artemisia I and II, the name later gained cultural visibility via the painter Artemisia Gentileschi. In modern Greek, Artemis and Artemisia remain in steady use. As a given name, Artemisa remains rare in Iberia and Latin America but is increasingly recognized, often chosen for its mythic and nature associations. Variants include Artemisia, Artemis, and French Artémis/Artémise; short forms Temi, Isa, and Misa occur.
