Matty Origin and Meaning

The name Matty is a girl's name meaning "battle-mighty; lady".

Matty could be a short form of Martha, Matilda, or even Madeline. It is a tomboyish option, especially with the classic Matthew still popular for boys. But with boyish nicknames for girls - like Scottie and Joey - on trend for girls, it might be worth taking a second look at Matty.

Singer Matty Healy is the frontman for British band The 1975.
