Origin and meaning of Mattis
Mattis is a Scandinavian and German short form of Matthias or Matthäus, from Hebrew Mattithyahu, 'gift of God', one of the twelve apostles in the New Testament. Especially common in Norway and Denmark, it has gained popularity in Germany in recent years as a shorter, more modern alternative to Matthias, valued for its energetic sound that's easy to say from a young age.
