What is the meaning of the name Arty ?

The baby name Arty is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AR-tee (IPA: /ˈɑrti/ or /ˈɑːrti/).

Arty is in Origin.

Arty is a friendly diminutive used across cultures. In English and Irish contexts it shortens Arthur or Art (from Celtic artos “bear,” possibly with rīx “king”), yielding senses like “bear-king” or “bear-like.” In Slavic usage it abridges Artyom/Artem (from Greek Artemios, linked to Artemis and artemēs “safe, unharmed”), giving the meaning “sound; whole.” Related long forms and cognates include Arthur, Artur, Arturo, Artūras; Artem, Artyom, Artemio, Artemas. Variants and nicknames: Artie, Art, Arti, Arte, Arto.

Records show Arty as a familiar pet name in 19th‑century Britain and Ireland, with moderate American use in the early 1900s; in Russia and Eastern Europe it remains common as the casual form of Artyom. The compact, vintage style has recently revived as a stand‑alone choice. While primarily masculine, it can read unisex. Note that the English adjective “arty” (artsy) is unrelated in origin.
