Mathiasen is Scandinavian in Origin.

Mathiasen is a Scandinavian patronymic name meaning “son of Mathias,” with roots in the Hebrew Matityahu (“gift of God”), which traveled through Greek Matthías and Latin Matthias to the Nordic Mathias. The -sen suffix, common in Danish and Norwegian naming, denotes lineage rather than a fixed family surname in premodern periods.

Used for centuries as a true patronymic, Mathiasen became a hereditary surname in Denmark and Norway during the 19th–20th‑century shift to fixed family names, yet it has recently appeared as a given name in the surname‑as‑first‑name trend in Nordic and English‑speaking countries. Close variants include Mathisen, Mathiesen, Mathiassen, and Matthiesen; related cognates abroad are Matheson and Mattison in the British Isles and Mathijsen in Dutch contexts. The underlying given-name forms - Mathias, Matthias, Matias, and Danish Mads - share the same biblical meaning, “gift of God,” linking the name to the Apostle Matthias.
