Mateah is Hebrew in Origin.

Mateah is a modern feminine name linked to the Matthew/Matteo family, most closely a respelling of Matea/Mattea. All derive from Hebrew Matityahu (Mattathiah), meaning gift of Yahweh/God, via Greek Matthaios and Latin Matthaeus. As such, Mateah carries the enduring sense of a divinely given gift.

Feminine forms of Matthew have circulated across Christian Europe: Mattea in Italy, Matea in Croatia and neighboring Balkans, and Mateja in several Slavic languages (often unisex). The English-leaning -h in Mateah is a contemporary flourish, paralleling Sarah or Norah, and has surfaced in recent decades in Anglophone countries. Related and variant spellings include Matea, Mattea, Mateja, and the rarer Mateya; short forms such as Tea/Teya or Mattie appear in English contexts. With familiar roots yet uncommon usage, Mateah blends biblical heritage with a tailored modern profile.
