Artemisia is Greek in Origin.
Artemisia is the Italian and English form of Greek Artemisia (Ἀρτεμισία), a feminine name built on Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and childbirth. Its sense is commonly interpreted as “of/dedicated to Artemis”; scholars also connect it with Greek artemēs “safe, sound; chaste,” giving overtones of wholeness and protection. The -ia ending marks a feminine formation used since antiquity.
The name was borne by two famed rulers of Caria: Artemisia I, the naval commander who fought at Salamis (5th c. BCE), and Artemisia II, patron of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; in early modern Europe it gained fresh currency via the celebrated Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Artemisia also names a plant genus (wormwood, mugwort), traditionally linked to the Carian queens or the goddess, which helped keep the name visible in scientific and literary contexts. Variants include Artemisa (Spanish/Portuguese), Artemísia (Portuguese), and French Artémise; nicknames Sia and Temi.
