Matheah is Hebrew in Origin.

Matheah is a rare, modern feminine form linked to Mathea, itself the Scandinavian counterpart to Matthew/Matthias. All trace back to Hebrew Matityahu, meaning “gift of Yahweh” or “gift of God.” The added final -h reflects English biblical spellings and lends the name a softly archaic look while keeping the same pronunciation as Mathea in most languages.

Use of the core form Mathea appears in Norwegian and Danish parish records from the 18th and 19th centuries, inspired by Lutheran reverence for the apostle Matthew; the variant Matheah is a contemporary elaboration found in English-speaking contexts. Close variants and cognates include Mathea, Mathia, Matthia, Mattea (Italian), Matea (South Slavic/Spanish), and Mateja (Slavic), with masculine relatives Matthew, Matthias, Matias, Mateo, and Matteo. Common short forms are Thea, Tea, Tia, and Mattie, giving Matheah both traditional roots and flexible modern styling.
