Mattieu is Hebrew in Origin.
Mattieu is a rare Francophone given name from Hebrew Matityahu, meaning “gift of Yahweh/God.” The path runs through Greek Matthaios and Latin Matthaeus into French, where Matthieu (biblical) and Mathieu (common) are standard. Mattieu likely emerged as a spelling blend of those forms. It appears sporadically in France, Belgium, and francophone Canada, mostly in late‑20th and early‑21st‑century records.
Its cultural footing comes from Saint Matthew the Apostle and the Gospel bearing his name, which spread the root across Christian Europe. Close variants include Matthew and Matthias, Matteo/Mattea, Mateo/Matea, Matías, Mateus/Matheus, Mateu, Matieu, and Matěj. Nicknames are Matt and Mat. The meaning remains stable as “gift of God,” and today Mattieu reads as a distinctive, modern twist that stays anchored to recognizable French tradition.
