Meaning & Story
The Spanish and Portuguese form of Matthias, from the Hebrew Mattityahu meaning 'gift of God' — a variant of Matthew, one of the twelve apostles.
Matias carries the warmth of a well-worn Spanish name — it's international, approachable, and has just enough of an exotic edge to stand out from the Matthews and Maxes of the dog park. It's a name that travels well across cultures, equally at home in Buenos Aires and Brooklyn. Dogs named Matias tend to have an easy, sunny confidence — they make friends wherever they go, they never seem to meet a stranger, and they have a talent for finding the most comfortable spot in any room within thirty seconds.
