Mattia Pronunciation
Mattia is pronounced MAHTT-yah (/ˈmattja/).
What Mattia means
Where Mattia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Mattia comes to Italian from Latin, which took it in turn from the Greek form of a Hebrew name meaning "gift of god." The Latin Matthias stands behind it, the same root that gave the apostle chosen by lot to replace Judas among the twelve. In Italy the name settled as Mattia and stayed masculine.
The short meaning, "gift of god," sits close to the origin rather than arriving later. The Hebrew element matan, "gift," joins a name of God, and Latin carried that sense forward without softening it.
On a Polish class register Mattia reads as plainly Italian, an import that keeps its own spelling. It has no Polish diminutive, no homegrown variant. Children named Mattia in Poland usually wear the Italian name whole.
The name stays short. Three syllables, one old meaning: gift of god.
