Mattiia is Hebrew in Origin.

Mattiia traces to the widespread Matthew/Matthias name group, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu, "gift of Yahweh/God." Its double-i spelling aligns with Nordic and Finnic orthography and may be read as a creative bridge between Finnish Matti and Italian Mattia. As such, the name carries the same meaning - "gift of God" - while offering a distinctive, contemporary look.

While Mattia (Italian) and Matti (Finnish) have deep usage tied to Christian tradition and the Apostle Matthew, Mattiia itself is a very rare modern elaboration. Parents may encounter related forms across languages: Matthew, Matteo, Mateo, Matthias, Mattias, Matias, Mathieu, Matija, and the feminine Mattea. Short forms and nicknames can include Matti, Mati, Tia, or Mia. Because of its hybrid feel and gentle rhythm, Mattiia is sometimes treated as unisex, though most cognates are historically masculine.
