Meaning & History
Meaning unknown. The name might possibly be a combination of a name starting with Ma- (such as Maria) or Mat- (such as Mathilde) with Tessa or an other name ending in -essa, such as Vanessa. Alternatively, it might be a feminization of the French surname Matisse, in honour of the French painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954), in which case you should also compare this name with the given names Matissa, Matiessa and Matiesse.
