Meaning: Of Matthew; Gift of God

Whether their steadfast faith or the love they show to others is their greatest gift, your baby Mathis is sure to light up the world. A masculine name, Mathis, is the French and German variant of Matthew, so maybe your little one will go by Matt or Matty someday! Mathis and Matthew both derive from the Hebrew Mattithyâhû, meaning “gift of God.” As the name of one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, Matthew holds great significance for those who follow Christianity. For baby Mathis, religious faith is just one of many things they may come to treasure as they grow up.
