Meaning and history
Matty is an English diminutive used for Matthew, Matthias, Matilda, and occasionally Martha. Matthew and Matthias ultimately come from Hebrew names meaning “gift of Yahweh.” Matilda is Germanic, combining elements meaning “strength” and “battle,” while Martha is Aramaic for “lady” or “mistress.” The intended meaning therefore depends on the full name. Notable bearers include English singer Matty Healy and American baseball player Matty Alou.
