Matae is a rare modern given name tied to the Matthew/Mateo lineage. In Korean, 마태 (romanized Matae) is the form used in biblical contexts for Matthew, tracing back through Greek Matthaios and Latin Matthaeus to Hebrew Mattityahu, "gift of Yahweh," often rendered "gift of God." As a standalone personal name, Matae appears sporadically in Korea and in English-speaking countries, typically among Christian families seeking a distinctive yet recognizably scriptural choice.

Variants and cognates include Matthew, Matteo, Mateo, Matthaeus, Mateus, Matei (Romanian), Mathias/Matías, and the Semitic Mattai/Matai; feminine counterparts are Matea and Mattea. Possible nicknames are Mat, Tae, or Teo (by association). Do not confuse it with Samoan matai, a chiefly title unrelated to Matthew. With its clean, cross-cultural sound and enduring meaning, Matae fits contemporary naming styles while anchoring to a time-tested biblical heritage.
