Gift of God
Mattew is a rare spelling variant of the classic Hebrew name Matthew. It derives from the Hebrew name Mattityahu, which combines 'mattan' (gift) and 'yah' (referring to God). While the double-T spelling is standard, this single-T version occasionally appears as a phonetic simplification or a unique family variation.
About 7 boys were named Mattew in 2025.
