Pronounced mah-TEH-ah, Mattea dances off the tongue like a song from a sun-drenched piazza. She is the Italian sister of Matteo and carries the gentle meaning “gift of God,” as if wrapped in golden ribbon. Born from warm Latin roots, Mattea feels like a secret fresco hidden in ancient walls. In the US, about 27 baby girls are named Mattea each year, placing her around rank 923 in 2024. She’s rare and radiant, like a summer breeze racing through cobblestone streets. Mattea brings a playful splash of Mediterranean sunshine to any nursery.
