Matteah is Hebrew in Origin.

Matteah is a modern feminine form related to Mattea, the Italian counterpart of Matteo/Matthew, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu via Greek Matthaios and Latin Matthaeus, meaning “gift of God” or “gift of Yahweh.” The -eah ending aligns it with English biblical-style spellings, giving a Hebrew-flavored look even though its path is primarily through the Italian and wider Christian naming tradition. It also resonates with South Slavic forms such as Matea and Mateja.

Usage is rare and largely contemporary, emerging in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century as a distinctive, lyrical variant. Variant forms include Mattea, Matea, Mateja, and the related feminine Mattea; masculine counterparts are Matthew, Matteo, Mattia, Matías, Matheus, and Matthias. Nicknames often mirror the Matthew family - Mattie, Tea (TAY-uh), or Thea. Across its spellings, the name carries the enduring, devotional sense of a divine gift.
