Mattithiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Mattithiah is a Hebrew biblical name from Mattityah/Matityahu (מַתִּתְיָה/מַתִּתְיָהוּ), built from mattan/mattanah “gift” + Yah, the divine name, yielding the meaning “gift of Yahweh” or “Yahweh’s gift.” The form Mattithiah reflects an older English transliteration of the Hebrew. Related spellings and transliterations include Mattithyahu and Matityahu.
In the Hebrew Bible, several minor figures bear the name: a Levitical musician appointed by King David (1 Chronicles 15–16; 25), a Levite responsible for baking sacred cakes (1 Chronicles 9:31), and a supporter standing beside Ezra during the public reading of the Law (Nehemiah 8:4). Through Greek Mattathias and Matthias, the name line also underlies the widespread Matthew and its international forms (Matteo, Matías, Matheus, Matija, etc.). Mattithiah itself remains rare in English-speaking use, but persists in Jewish communities (often as Matityahu), with nicknames like Matt or Mati.
