Artemizja is Greek in Origin.

Artemizja is the Polish form of Artemisia, ultimately from Greek Artemisia, meaning "of Artemis" or "devoted to Artemis." It points to the Greek goddess Artemis, associated with the hunt, the moon, and protection of childbirth; some scholars link the root to Greek artemes, "safe, sound." The name also coincides with the plant genus Artemisia (wormwood and mugwort), traditionally tied either to the goddess or to the Carian queen Artemisia.

In use since antiquity, Artemizja echoes figures such as Artemisia I of Caria, the 5th-century BCE naval commander, and Artemisia II, patron of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; in the arts, it recalls the Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Though uncommon in Poland, it aligns with broader European revivals of classical names. International variants include Artemisia (English/Italian), Artemisa (Spanish/Portuguese), Artémise (French), Artemizija/Artemisija (South Slavic), Artemiziya (Russian), and modern Greek Artemisia/Artemisia.
