What is the meaning of the name Mattia ?

The baby name Mattia is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced mah-TEE-ah (Italian: /matˈtiːa/).

Mattia is Hebrew in Origin.

Mattia is the Italian equivalent of Matthias, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu via Greek and Latin Matthias, meaning "gift of Yahweh" or "gift of God." In Italian tradition it is distinct from Matteo (Matthew), though both share the same Semitic root. Veneration of Saint Matthias, the apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot, anchored the name in Christian Europe; the Roman Catholic calendar commemorates him on 14 May.

Documented in medieval Italy, Mattia has endured and surged again in recent decades, ranking among Italy’s most popular boys’ names. Cognates and variants include Matthias (English/German), Mattias (Scandinavian), Matías (Spanish), Matias (Portuguese), Mathieu (French), Mateusz (Polish), Matěj (Czech), Matej (Slovene/Slovak), Matija (Croatian/Slovene), and Máté (Hungarian). Italian feminine counterparts are Mattea and, more rarely, Mattia in unisex use; short forms like Matt or Matti also occur. Across forms, the enduring sense is "gift of God," conveying gratitude and divine favor.
