Mathies is Hebrew in Origin.
Mathies is a regional European form of Matthias, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu, "gift of Yahweh (God)," mediated through Greek Matthias and Latin Matthias. The -ies ending reflects Dutch, Frisian, and Low German phonology, where Thies and Ties serve as familiar short forms; Mathies blends the base Mat- with that nickname-like ending. In Scandinavia, it has also appeared as a spelling variant alongside Mathis and Mathias in older Danish and Norwegian records.
Usage traces to the veneration of the apostle Matthias, whose name spread widely in Christian Europe. Mathies is documented in 16th-19th-century parish registers in the Netherlands, Schleswig-Holstein, and Jutland, and persists today as an uncommon but intelligible choice in the Benelux, Germany, Denmark, and Norway. Close variants and cognates include Matthias, Mathias, Mathis, Matthis, Mattis, and Matias; related short forms are Thies, Ties, Mads, and Mats.
