Math is in Origin.

Math is a compact masculine name with multiple roots. In modern French- and Dutch-speaking contexts it serves as a clipped form of Mathieu or Matthijs, and in English it can appear as a stylized variant of Matt. As a short form of Matthew or Matthias, it inherits the Hebrew meaning “gift of God” (from Matityahu). In Welsh tradition, however, Math appears independently as the name of a legendary king, Math fab Mathonwy, in the Mabinogion; the precise etymology in that context is uncertain and unrelated to the school subject suggested by its spelling.

Usage as a standalone given name is uncommon but familiar as a nickname across Europe. Variant forms and cognates include Matt, Mat, Matty, Matthew, Mathew, Matthias, Mathias, Mathieu, Mateo, Matteo, Matías, Matěj, Mats, Mads, Maciej, and Matvei/Matvey. Pronunciations vary: English typically like the word “math,” French like “mat,” and Welsh with th as in “thin.”
