Matthia

Matthia is a feminine variation of Matthew, derived from the Hebrew name Mattityahu, meaning 'gift of God.' While Matthew has been a consistently popular masculine name throughout Western history, Matthia represents a more uncommon feminine adaptation. It bears similarity to Mattea and Matthea, but with a distinctive ending that gives it a slightly different rhythm. The name has historical roots in several European traditions, particularly Italian and German. Though never achieving widespread popularity, Matthia offers parents a way to honor a Matthew in the family while giving their daughter a name that is both traditional and uncommon, with a meaningful religious heritage.

Pronounced mah-THEE-ah.
