Artik as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Artik

What is the meaning of the name Artik ?

The baby name Artik is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AR-tik (IPA: /ˈɑr.tɪk/).

Artik is Armenian in Origin.

Artik is a rare cross‑cultural given name and nickname. In Armenian contexts it can be a toponymic name meaning “from Artik,” referencing the town in Shirak Province, or a familiar form built with the diminutive suffix -ik from established Art‑ names (Artak, Artur, Artin). In East Slavic use it also appears as a friendly short form for Artyom or Artur, mirroring the common -ik hypocoristic ending. In Turkic languages, related spellings connect to the word artıq/artık (“extra; more”), and Artyk appears as a place name.

Meaning depends on the source name: from Arthur/Artur it carries the Celtic “bear” (and by extension “strong; kingly”); from Armenian–Iranian Artak/Artashes it inherits Old Persian arta (“truth; right order; righteousness”); as a toponym it simply means “of Artik.” Variants and cognates include Artyk, Artık, Artiq, Artic, Arthur, Artur, Artyom, Artak, Artin, and Artashes.
