What is the meaning of the name Artimus ?

Artimus is Greek in Origin.

Artimus is a modern English respelling of the Greek-derived names Artemus/Artemas, ultimately linked to the goddess Artemis. The underlying Greek form Artemios means “of Artemis” or “dedicated to Artemis,” and is also associated with artemes, “safe, sound, unharmed,” yielding the common meaning “safe; whole.” The name entered Christian usage through Artemas (Titus 3:12) and through veneration of Saint Artemius in late antiquity, giving it both classical and early Christian resonance.

In English, Artimus remains rare and contemporary, appearing chiefly in the 20th–21st centuries; it is best known from musician Artimus Pyle. Closely related variants include Artemus and Artemas (masculine), Artemis (now often unisex), Artemios/Artemius (Greek/Latin), and the Slavic forms Artem and Artyom. Feminine cognates include Artemis and Artemisia. Short forms such as Art and Artie are common. Overall, Artimus combines mythic roots with a distinctive modern spelling.
