What is the meaning of the name Juha-Matti ?

The baby name Juha-Matti is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Finnish IPA: [ˈjuːhɑ ˈmɑtːi]; approx. 'YOO-hah MAHT-tee'..

Juha-Matti is Finnish in Origin.

Juha-Matti is a Finnish compound male name combining Juha (a short form of Juhani, the Finnish form of Johannes/John) and Matti (the Finnish form of Matthew/Matthias). Juha derives from Hebrew Yochanan, "Yahweh is gracious," while Matti comes from Matityahu, "gift of Yahweh," transmitted via Greek and Latin. Taken together, the name suggests "a gracious gift of God."

Use rose in Finland during the 1960s-1980s, when hyphenated double names flourished, reflecting Lutheran, Bible-based naming. It remains familiar through bearers such as ice hockey forward Juha-Matti Aaltonen and the singer known as Juha-Matti. Variants include Juha Matti (without hyphen), Juhamatti (solid form), and the related pairing Juhani-Matti; common call-names are Juha, Juhis, or Matti (Masa). In records, the hyphen marks the two elements as a single given name.
