Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Matteo je talianska podoba mena Matúš. Vychádza z hebrejského mena Mattitjáhu, sprostredkovaného gréčtinou a latinčinou. Hebrejské zložky mattat („dar“) a jáhu (súčasť Božieho mena Jahve) vyjadrujú význam „Jahveho dar“, všeobecnejšie „Boží dar“.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a tradícia: Treccani – Matteo. Taliansky prízvuk: Treccani – Mattèo. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou slovenského vzoru chlap, analogicky k Leo – Lea: Slovník slovenského jazyka VI, JÚĽŠ SAV. Uvedené domácke oslovenia sú možné rodinné podoby odvodené od Teo; ich obľúbenosť ani ustálenosť pri mene Matteo nie sú overené.
