Mattáes Origin and Meaning

The name Mattáes is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Mattáes is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Matthias or Matthaios, which derive from the Hebrew name Mattityahu, meaning 'gift of Yahweh' or 'gift of God.' The distinctive accent mark suggests possible Greek or Hungarian influence in this particular spelling. While traditional forms like Matthew and Matthias are common throughout the Western world, Mattáes represents a more unique variant that maintains the name's historical and religious significance while offering a distinctive flair. The name has connections to biblical tradition, as Matthias was the apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot. Mattáes likely appeals to parents seeking a name with religious meaning but with a somewhat more uncommon or international presentation.
