Artemiy, derived from the ancient Greek 'Artemon', means "dedicated to Artemis", the goddess of hunting and wilderness. It is a Slavic variant of Artemius, which was popular among early Russian Christians due to its association with Saint Artemius, an early bishop of Olbia in Pontus. Artemiy has been traditionally used within Orthodox Christian communities but has gained wider recognition in recent years, particularly in Eastern European countries like Russia and Ukraine. It is pronounced /ɑrˈtɛmi.jɪ/ with emphasis on the second syllable.
