Gift of God
Mateya is a feminine variation of the Hebrew name Matthew, often found in Slavic and Bulgarian contexts. It conveys the same spiritual sentiment of being a divine blessing or gift. While rare in the United States, it offers a rhythmic and modern alternative to more common forms like Maya or Mattea.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Mateya in 2025.
