Matteo is Hebrew in Origin.
Matteo is the Italian form of Matthew, from Hebrew Matityahu “gift of God,” via Greek Matthaios and Latin Matthaeus. In Italy it has been used since the Middle Ages, strengthened by devotion to Saint Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist. Renaissance and early modern bearers include humanist Matteo Palmieri and the Jesuit missionary-scientist Matteo Ricci, and the name yielded southern surnames such as Di Matteo and De Matteo.
International variants include Matthew (English), Mateo (Spanish), Mateus (Portuguese), Mathieu/Mathéo (French), Matei (Romanian), Matej (Slavic), Maciej (Polish), Mátyás (Hungarian), and Matija (South Slavic); Italian Mattea is the feminine counterpart, while Mattia reflects the cognate Matthias. Common short forms are Teo and Matt. The name has risen across Europe and North America since the 1990s, boosted by the stylish -eo ending and cross-linguistic familiarity, yet remains a distinctly Italian classic meaning “gift of God.”
