An uncommon Ukrainian pick — distinctive and rare.
Matviy is a boy's baby name of Ukrainian origin, the Ukrainian form of Matthew, from the Hebrew Mattityahu meaning 'gift of God.' Matthew (in his various forms) is one of the most universally beloved apostolic names across all branches of Christianity.
Warm and culturally specific, Matviy gives the apostle's name a distinctly Ukrainian identity — the same sacred gift acknowledged in the language of one of the world's most resilient and ancient peoples.
Matviy has 12+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2012.
