Matthieus

Matthieus is a variant spelling of Matthew, derived from the Hebrew name Mattityahu, meaning "gift of Yahweh" or "gift of God." This French-influenced spelling adds a continental European flair to the traditional name. While less common than the standard Matthew or the French Matthieu, Matthieus maintains the strong biblical connections to the apostle and evangelist. The name carries connotations of wisdom, reliability, and spiritual devotion. Although relatively rare in English-speaking countries, this spelling variation might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet recognizable name with religious significance and international appeal.

Pronounced mah-THEE-us.
