Teus is Dutch in Origin.
Teus is a Dutch short form of Mattheus/Mattheüs, the Low Countries variant of Matthew. Its lineage runs via Latin Matthaeus and Greek Matthaios to Hebrew Matityahu, meaning “gift of Yahweh,” commonly rendered “gift of God.” Used in the Netherlands and Flanders since at least the 19th century, Teus serves as an amiable everyday call name.
Related forms include Theus (older spelling), Thijs/Tijs and Matthijs, along with the full Mattheus; broader cognates are Mathieu, Matteo, Mateo, Mateus, and Matthew. Do not confuse Teus with Teun, which derives from Antonius. A rare feminine counterpart is Mattea. The name’s appeal rests on its crisp sound and enduring sense of “gift of God.”
