Meaning & History
Mateh is the Georgian form of the name Matthew, derived from the Georgian name მათე. It ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Matityahu, meaning “gift of God”, composed of the elements mattan “gift” and yah referring to God. Used in Georgia and by members of the Georgian diaspora, Mateh preserves the traditional two-syllable pronunciation: MAH-teh. It is transliterated into the Latin script for use in international and English-speaking contexts.
