Ivan Artemyev

Ivan Artemyev is a Russian name, commonly composed of a given name ("Ivan") and a patronymic ("Artemyev").

• Ivan: A common Russian given name, corresponding to the English name John. It originates from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious."

• Artemyev: A Russian patronymic. Patronymics are formed using the father's given name as a base, with a suffix indicating "son of." In this case, Artemyev means "son of Artemy."

Therefore, Ivan Artemyev literally translates to "Ivan, son of Artemy." The patronymic is a traditional part of Russian naming conventions and is often used in formal settings alongside the given name. The prevalence and meaning of both "Ivan" and names derived from "Artemy" are tied to the historical and cultural influence of Orthodox Christianity in Russia.
