About Matheo

With Mateo making its first ever appearance in the US Top 10 in 2023, its Scandinavian variant Matheo borrowed some of its spotlight and appeared in the Top 1000 for the first time.

Popular in France, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, this could (letter-wise) be an alternative way to get to the nickname Theo if Theodore isn't your thing, but in terms of pronunciation, it lends itself more to Matt, Matty, or Teo.

Pronounced mah-TAY-oh.

As of October 2026, Matheo ranked #751 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #959.
