The name Mattithyah or Mattithyahu, indicating a "gift of Yahweh," would have been a meaningful designation, reflecting the parents' gratitude to God or their hope for the child's future. Such names were common among the Israelites, who frequently incorporated the name of God (Yahweh) into personal names to signify their faith and reliance on Him.
