Artyom is Russian in Origin.

Artyom is the East Slavic form of Greek Artemios, ultimately linked to the goddess Artemis and the adjective artemēs, meaning “safe, sound, unharmed” and by extension “pure.” The name entered Slavic usage through the Orthodox calendar; veneration of Saint Artemius of Antioch (4th century martyr) anchored it in Byzantine and later Russian Christian tradition. In modern Russian it is spelled Артём with the letter ё, though print often shows Артем while preserving the “yoh” pronunciation.

Variants and cognates include Artem (common international transliteration), Artemiy/Artemii/Artemy (ecclesiastical), Belarusian Artsiom, and Ukrainian Artem; spellings Artyom and Artiom are also found. Common diminutives are Tyoma (Тёма), Tyomka, and Tema. The name has been widely used across Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, enjoying strong popularity in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, appreciated for its robust sound and auspicious sense of wholeness and wellbeing.
