Mattis is Hebrew in Origin.
Mattis is a Scandinavian and francophone form of the biblical name Matthias/Mathias, ultimately from Hebrew Matityahu, meaning “gift of God.” The name travelled via Greek Maththías and Latin Matthias and entered Nordic usage through Christian naming traditions tied to St. Matthias the Apostle. It appears in early modern parish records across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, and saw a late-20th-century revival alongside other concise Nordic classics. In France and Belgium, Mattis stands beside the related Mathis, gaining momentum in the 2000s. Literary visibility in Scandinavia also comes from Astrid Lindgren’s Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter, featuring a character named Mattis.
Variants and cognates include Matthias, Mathias, Mattias, Mathis (German/French), Matias/Matías (Portuguese/Spanish), Mats and Mads (Nordic short forms), Matteo and Mattia (Italian), Máté (Hungarian), Maciej (Polish), and Matvey (Russian), with English Matthew as a close relative from the same root. Common diminutives are Matt and Matte.
