Mattie is in Origin.
Mattie is an English diminutive used independently since the 19th century. Most often it shortens Matilda (from Old High German maht “might, strength” + hild “battle”), but it also serves as a pet form of Martha (Aramaic “lady, mistress”) and, less commonly, Matthew (Hebrew Matityahu “gift of God”). As a given name, it carries connotations of warmth and approachability while inheriting meanings from its source names - strength in battle, lady, or divine gift.
The name flourished in the United States around 1880–1910 and remains familiar through literature: Mattie Silver in Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome and the determined Mattie Ross in True Grit. Variant spellings and cognates include Matty/Maty, Matti, and Matie; related formal names are Matilda/Mathilda/Mathilde, Martha/Marta, and Matthew/Matheus/Mateo. Contemporary parents sometimes choose Mattie as a vintage revival or keep it as a nickname alongside fuller forms.
