Motiejus is a Lithuanian masculine name, equivalent to the English Matthew or Latin Matthaeus. Derived from the Hebrew name Mattityahu, meaning 'gift of God' or 'gift from Yahweh.' This name carries deep historical significance in Lithuania, where it has been used since the country's Christianization. Motiejus Valančius, a 19th-century bishop and historian, brought prominence to the name in Lithuanian cultural history. The name remains moderately popular in Lithuania, representing both religious heritage and national identity. Its distinctive Lithuanian form sets it apart from international variants of Matthew. The pronunciation (mo-tee-YEH-yus) gives it a melodious quality characteristic of Baltic languages, and it often shortens to 'Motie' or 'Motis' as a nickname.
