Artemiya is Greek in Origin.

Artemiya is an East Slavic feminine given name rooted in Greek. It descends from Artemia/Artemios, names connected to the goddess Artemis and to the Greek word artemēs, meaning “safe, unharmed, sound.” Accordingly, Artemiya is often interpreted as “safe, sound,” or “devoted to Artemis.” In Slavic usage it functions as the feminine counterpart of Artemiy/Artyom.

The name appears sporadically in Byzantine and Greek sources and remains uncommon across the Orthodox world, where veneration of the martyr St. Artemios mainly popularized the masculine forms. In modern Russia and Ukraine it has seen modest revival alongside other heritage and myth-inflected names. Variants and transliterations include Artemia (Greek/Latinized), Artemiia (Ukrainian: Артемія), Artemiya (Russian: Артемия), and Artemija (South Slavic). Related cognates are Artemis and Artemisia in the classical tradition, and Artem, Artemy/Artemiy for males, all sharing the same protective sense of “wholeness” and well-being.
