Mathiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Mathiah is a rare modern given name with Hebrew roots, ultimately from Matityahu, meaning "gift of Yahweh" or "gift of God." It entered European naming through the Greek-Latin Matthias/Matthias; forms spread widely: Mathias, Mattias, Matias, Matthew, Matteo, Mateusz, Matija, Matvey, Matheus. Mathiah likely arose as an English elaboration blending Mathia/Mathias with the -iah ending familiar from Jeremiah, Nehemiah, and Moriah, giving it a distinctly biblical cadence.
Historical use of Mathiah itself is sparse before the late 20th century; records show occasional appearance in anglophone countries as a unisex or feminine-leaning alternative to Matthias or Mathias, alongside the Scandinavian feminine Mathia and Italian Mattea. Nicknames include Matt, Matty, Tia, or Tiah. Spelling variants: Mathia, Matthia, and Matthiah. While uncommon, the name carries the venerable "gift" meaning and echoes the apostolic legacy of Saint Matthias in Christian tradition.
