Mathe is Hebrew in Origin.
Mathe is a rare pan-European variant of the Matthew/Matthias name group, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu “gift of Yahweh/God.” It entered European usage via Greek Matthaios and Latin Matthaeus. The spelling Mathe is attested as a medieval German short form of Matthäus and also arises when the Hungarian Máté or French Mathé are rendered without diacritics; it is typically used for boys.
The name gained currency through the apostle and evangelist Matthew, prompting steady baptismal use across Christendom from the Middle Ages onward and periodic revivals in Protestant regions. Related forms include Matthew/Mathew (English), Mathieu/Mathis/Matéo (French), Mateo (Spanish), Matteo (Italian), Mateus/Matheus (Portuguese), Mateusz (Polish), Matei (Romanian), Matěj/Matej (Czech/Slovak), Máté and Mátyás (Hungarian), and Matthias/Matthäus (German). Common nicknames are Mat, Matt, and Matty. Meaning remains “gift of God,” with a quiet, streamlined look in this spelling.
