Artemysia is Greek in Origin.

Artemysia is a modern, stylistic respelling of Artemisia, the Latinized form of Greek Artemisia (Αρτεμισία), a name linked to the goddess Artemis. Its meaning is interpreted as “belonging/dedicated to Artemis,” or from Greek artemēs, “safe, sound, whole,” giving senses of protection and health.

The name has deep historical resonance: Artemisia I of Caria, a 5th-century BCE naval commander; Artemisia II, patron of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; and Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. The botanical genus Artemisia (wormwood, mugwort, sagebrush) also bears the name, reinforcing its classical and natural imagery. Established variants include Artemisia (standard international), Artemisa (Spanish/Portuguese), and the rare French Artémise; cognate/related forms include Artemis. Informal diminutives include Sia, Temi, and Artie. The y-inserted Artemysia remains uncommon but fits contemporary trends toward customized spellings while preserving the name’s antique pedigree and strong, independent associations.
