Mattia Origin and Meaning

The name Mattia is a girl's name.

Mattia is a feminine name with Italian origins, though interestingly it serves as the Italian form of Matthew (meaning "gift of God") and is actually more commonly used for boys in Italy. This gender-versatile name has gained some popularity as a feminine option in international contexts, particularly among parents seeking Italian-inspired names. Mattia has a soft, melodic sound with its double 't' and flowing vowel ending, making it appealing for girls despite its masculine associations in its country of origin. The name carries biblical connections through its relationship to Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, while offering a less common alternative to the popular Matilda or Mattea for girls.
