Artemys is Greek in Origin.

Artemys is a modern, gender-neutral respelling of Artemis, the Greek Ἄρτεμις, name of the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and childbirth. The etymology is debated: some derive it from Greek artemēs “safe, unharmed/whole,” others from artamos “butcher,” and many scholars treat it as pre‑Greek. As a given name for mortals, Artemis saw limited ancient use, but its male cognates flourished in Christian times through Saints Artemios/Artemius. The Slavic form Artyom/Artem became especially common.

Today Artemys updates the classical profile with a contemporary y while remaining cross‑cultural. Related and variant forms include Artemis, Artemus, Artemas (Biblical), Artemisia (and French Artémise), Artemio/Artemius, Artemy/Artemiy, and Spanish/Portuguese Artemisa; nicknames range from Art and Artie to Temi or Ari. Meanings usually emphasize safety and wholeness, with mythic associations of protection, moonlight, archery, and untamed nature.
