Matrycja is Polish in Origin.

Matrycja is an uncommon Polish feminine given name that appears to fuse the Latin root mater (“mother”) with the familiar Polish -ycja/-cja name pattern (compare Patrycja, Alicja). It is often interpreted as a modern Polonized relative of the venerable Greek–Latin Matrona, known in Eastern Slavic lands as Matryona/Matrena, names venerated through saints and folk tradition. As a contemporary invention or revival, Matrycja has seen sporadic use in Poland and among the diaspora from the late 20th century onward.

Meaning centers on “matron; noble lady” and, by association, “motherly” or “of the mother.” Variant spellings include Matrycia, with related forms Matrona and Matryona/Matrena; stylistic cousins include Patrycja and Alicja. Possible Polish diminutives are Mati and Maty. While still rare, the name appeals to parents seeking a Slavic-tinged, tradition-evoking choice that remains distinctive, linking classical Latin respectability with East European warmth (think of the Matryoshka doll’s root in Matryona).
