Matty functions as both a standalone masculine name and a familiar diminutive of Matthew, which derives from the Hebrew name Mattathia meaning 'gift of God.'

It maintains a youthful, friendly quality while still connecting to the ancient and widely-used Matthew. The name has particular popularity in English-speaking countries, especially the United Kingdom and Australia.
