What is the meaning of the name Matty ?

The baby name Matty is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MAT-ee (IPA: /ˈmæti/).

Matty is in Origin.

Matty is an English diminutive used for both sexes, most commonly from Matthew/Matthias, ultimately Hebrew Matityahu “gift of God.” It also serves as a pet form of several feminine names, notably Matilda (from Germanic maht “strength, might” + hild “battle”), Martha (Aramaic “lady, mistress”), and, in Romance contexts, Mattea/Mathea, the feminine of Matthew. Found in British and American parish registers from the 1700s onward, it appears frequently as a familiar byname and, more recently, as a standalone, informal given name.

Variant spellings include Matty and Mattie, the latter especially common for girls in 19th-century U.S. records. Related international equivalents of the root names include Matthew, Matthias/Matias, Mateo, Matteo, Mathieu, and, on the feminine side, Mattea/Mathea and Mathilde/Matilda. The meaning depends on the source: “gift of God” when derived from Matthew/Matthias, or “mighty in battle” when short for Matilda; from Martha, it carries the sense “lady.”
