Until recently, the male name Matvey was considered uncommon. But in recent years, in the wake of the fascination with ancient forgotten names, it has become increasingly popular. They especially often call it the first-born or long-awaited boys, literally begged from God. After all, the meaning of the name translated from Hebrew is “God’s gift.”
Historical roots of the name
In the old days, the name Matvey was pronounced a little differently - Matthew or Matthiy. This was the name of one of the twelve apostles who were disciples of Jesus Christ.
Evangelist Matthew
Before the adoption of Christianity, Matthew, who was also called Levi, lived in Galilee and was considered a very wealthy man. By occupation, he was a publican, that is, he collected taxes from ordinary citizens for the treasury of the Holy Roman Empire.
One day, walking through the streets of the city, a man saw a crowd that surrounded a stranger, eagerly listening to his words. Interested, Matthew invited the stranger into his home. This stranger turned out to be Jesus Christ.
The conversation with the son of God made a huge impression on the publican. And when Christ said to him: “Follow me,” the man left the house, distributed all his property to the poor and followed the Savior. From then on, Matthew was inseparably next to Christ, until his death.
In preparation for preaching in other countries, the Apostle Matthew wrote the Gospel, which stands first among all the church books of the New Testament. It details the life of Jesus as Prophet, Lawgiver, and High Priest who sacrificed himself for the sins of all people.
Saint Matthew traveled around Syria, Media, Parthia, India and Persia and everywhere advocated for the true faith, calling on people to adhere to the teachings of Christ. The last country he reached was Ethiopia. In those days, its main population were tribes of cannibals who worshiped their crude idols. But nevertheless, many of them, after listening to Matthew’s sermons, were imbued with the ideas of Christianity and were baptized. In addition, the evangelist founded an Orthodox church in the city of Mirmen and appointed his companion Plato as its vicar.
The ruler of Ethiopia, Fulvian, did not like this. On his orders, Matthew was captured and severely tortured. And when, unable to withstand the torture, the apostle died, his body was placed in a metal box and thrown into the sea.
A few days later the coffin washed ashore. When the lid was thrown back, Plato and his companions saw Matthew's body completely intact. They transferred the relics to the temple he created, where the holy evangelist found his last refuge.
The day of remembrance of this amazing man is November 29th. Many men named Matvey choose it as the day of their angel. They pray to Saint Matthew for strengthening faith and protection from temptations. In addition, he is considered the patron saint of everyone who deals with finances.
Since the owners of this name do not like big words and unnecessary fuss, an inexpensive but practical thing will be suitable as a gift.
Foreign analogues
The shortened version of the name is Motya, which does not sound very attractive. Therefore, for a little boy, parents come up with other beautiful affectionate nicknames - Matyusha, Matyushenka, Matveyushka, Matveychik, Matveyunyushka, Matyunchik, Matveyka. Sometimes the child is affectionately called by the diminutive names Tyushenka, Tyutyunchik or Tyunchik. Adults in an official setting only have their full name, and among friends - Matyukha.
But there is no need to be upset. After all, the name Matvey, although in a slightly modified form, can be found in many languages.

And the list will be completed by two literary Matthews. This is the main character of Jules Verne’s novel “Mathias Sandor” and King Matthias the First, a character in the story of the same name by the Polish writer Janusz Korczak.
Fate and character
We can convey the character of our hero in two words if we call him conflict-free and peace-loving. Moreover, both qualities appear from early childhood. 
Matveychik
If this child is truly long-awaited and “begged from God,” then the parents will try to blow away the specks of dust from him and will not let him go outside again. In addition, the unusual name, which the boy is a little shy about, also does not contribute to communication with peers.
So little Matveyka grows under his mother and father’s wings, protected from life’s ups and downs. This is a very calm, self-absorbed child.
Parents try in every possible way to develop Matyusha, and, having mastered the letters early, he begins to voraciously read books, from which he tries to draw life wisdom. That is why the boy is often a little detached from reality and “hovering in the clouds” of his fantasies. If you don’t pay attention to this in time and don’t return Matyunya to the “sinful earth,” then he risks growing up to be an incorrigible romantic, which can greatly hinder him in his adult life.
Matveyka studies well at school, but without much enthusiasm. He is more attracted to history, geography, and astronomy, since there is always room for fantasy and imagination.
Having overcome the complex of his rare name, Matyusha becomes more sociable and makes many friends. But he will not participate in boyish pranks and pranks, because he does not consider such a pastime to be correct.
From early childhood, a boy is characterized by decency and honesty. He will never take candy from a vase without permission and will bring every last penny of change from the store. Parents predict a great future for their beloved child, but in reality everything turns out to be not so simple.
Matvey
Well-read and possessing a solid store of knowledge, our hero, no doubt, will strive to obtain a higher education. And some pedantry, manifested in the desire to systematize everything and methodically put it on the shelves, will allow him to become a good financial worker (accountant or economist), engineer, or try his hand at research.
Unfortunately, the lack of ambition and breakthrough abilities will not allow Matvey to climb high up the career ladder. For many years he will remain a strong “middle peasant” - efficient, honest, but modest and absolutely unselfish.
Those who well remember Eldar Ryazanov’s comedy “Office Romance” can easily imagine the owner of the name Matvey. After all, Anatoly Efremovich Novoseltsev, brilliantly played by Andrei Myagkov, is literally based on our hero.
Like his movie counterpart, the real man is intelligent and has many abilities. But the lack of initiative and reluctance to catch the eye of his superiors do not give him the opportunity to advance and take a post that would correspond to his intellect.
Since childhood, he cannot stand any quarrels or conflicts, Matvey tries not to become a witness to them, much less a direct participant. If he has to face a scandal, he will do his best to reconcile the warring parties.
The lack of proper career growth also affects the financial situation of our hero: as a rule, it leaves much to be desired. However, this does not bother Matvey, he is used to being content with little and does not lay claim to Mercedes and villas on the Cote d'Azur.
Very rarely, Matvey can try to break out of the shell of modesty and selflessness and start his own business. The “fighting spirit” awakens in him, and the man begins to develop vigorous activity. However, it doesn’t last long, and, faced with the first difficulties, our hero deflates like a balloon and returns to his monotonous work.
Love and family
Most men bearing the name Matvey have a quite attractive appearance. They have pleasant facial features and an athletic figure. After all, our hero is used to physical exercise and enjoys jogging in the morning or working out at home on exercise machines.
Therefore, Matyusha does not experience a lack of female attention. He often falls in love, but usually the initiative in relationships belongs not to him, but to the ladies. This also applies to intimate relationships, since our hero does not feel very confident here either.
It happens that Matvey gets married while still a student. Most often this happens when his girlfriend becomes pregnant, and a decent man has no choice but to take her to the registry office. It is quite natural that after a few years the family breaks up, but Matyusha will be attached to the children all his life.
Our Matvey will not be getting married a second time soon, but this marriage will also be far from ideal. His wife will begin to reproach him for his lack of money and reluctance to advance in his career. In addition, in most cases, our hero will have to live with his wife’s parents, who will also make their contribution.
But this time the man will not abandon his family, but will silently endure reproaches, finding an outlet in the children. He will devote all his free time to them, raising children much more than his wife.
Name compatibility
I would like to hope that our hero will meet a woman who will appreciate his intelligence, prudence, decency and gentleness. Here are the owners of which names horoscopes predict happiness for Matvey.
If a woman can forgive Matvey for his weaknesses, then they will live together until old age. And when the children grow up and leave home, they will touchingly take care of each other.
Matvey's hobbies
Our hero really likes to make things. Therefore, many things in the house were made by his hands. If Matvey has a car, then he devotes his free time to improving it. Moreover, unlike other men, his trips to the garage do not turn into get-togethers with friends, but actually bring real benefits.
On weekends, our hero loves to go out into nature with his family and enjoys tinkering around his summer cottage. He never refuses to take his children to the zoo, cinema or the circus, because he gets great joy from communicating with kids.
Brief description of Matvey
The fact that the owner of the name Matvey is completely devoid of ambitious plans and does not think about career growth does not at all detract from his moral qualities. And this man certainly deserves respect.
To summarize the above, we can say that “God-given” Matvey is an example of a gentle, kind, intelligent man. But it’s so difficult to live with such a character in our time.
Meaning of the name
Matvey is a strong-willed, courageous, but at the same time kind, sympathetic, modest and non-conflict man who does not seek benefits in relationships. He is fair, patient and sincere, so people often turn to him for practical advice. Often it is Matvey who acts as a peacemaker when it is necessary to reconcile the warring parties. But we should not forget that the time of year in which he was born leaves its mark on the formation of a person’s character.
Characteristics of the name Matvey (Matthew)
Winter Matvey he is cautious and secretive, so he gets along with people for a long time, subjecting applicants to the role of friends to various tests. He prefers to have one but devoted friend, while the quantitative component in this matter is absolutely not important to him. Winter Matvey is vulnerable and touchy, but he will not take revenge on his offenders.
Spring Matvey does not tolerate injustice (the owner of this name himself adheres to strict moral principles and lives according to the laws of honor). You can always rely on him in everything, because this man’s words never diverge from his deeds. However, his kindness and responsiveness can cause disappointment in his personal life (he gives all of himself to relationships, but often women are not able to appreciate this quality of his).
Summer Matvey open, sociable and cheerful, so he is always surrounded by the same adventurers looking for adventure. He takes life lightly, but such an attitude is not always justified, because reality is not always a carefree holiday. He builds relationships with women according to the same principle: freedom, independence and the absence of any obligations - this is the format of relationships suitable for the summer Matvey.
Autumn Matvey easy to communicate, friendly, but at the same time unusually modest (he does not like to be in the center of everyone's attention). He tries not to conflict, not to sort things out, and not to offend anyone. Autumn Matvey is gallant, attentive and affectionate with women who surround him with tenderness and care. But keep in mind: this man is jealous and suspicious, although he will not show his feelings.
Stone - talisman
Matvey's talisman stones are chiastolite and opal.
Chiastolite
This mineral helps to enter the astral plane and establish a connection with the souls of the dead (to do this, you need to look at the stone for a long time), so priests and sorcerers used chiastolite in ritual as well as magical rites.
Christian monks made rosaries from this stone, which helped not only to concentrate directly on prayer, but also to ward off all kinds of negative thoughts. Also, chiastolite amulets contributed to the preservation and enhancement of the positive energy of prayers, and protected from troubles and witchcraft.
Chiastolite helps to get rid of internal fears, eliminates anger and makes illusions crumble, bringing only disappointments to a person’s life.
Opal
The ancient Romans believed that opal attracts love and helps fulfill hopes. But you should remember that this stone is endowed with enormous energy, which can become destructive. For this reason, opal worries people who strive for a calm and measured life, while it helps creative individuals achieve success in life.
Buddhists personify white opal with patience, tolerance and purity. In addition, they believe that this stone develops the gift of foresight.
In general, opal is a stone for melancholic people with pure and noble thoughts, but for egoists it brings only evil, giving rise to suspicion, causing quarrels, as well as fear and nightmares.

Animal - symbol
The animal (or rather, arthropod) that patronizes Matvey is scorpion- a dual symbol, meaning danger, fear, but at the same time protection from enemies.
In the Christian tradition, the scorpion symbolizes betrayal, being identified with the traitor Judas and embodying such mortal sins as heresy, hatred, envy. In addition, in the Bible this arthropod, like the snake, symbolizes demonic forces.
Most often, Scorpio has negative symbolism, personifying vindictiveness, death, punishment, retribution and self-destruction. Although one cannot help but mention the nobility of this symbol: thus, finding itself in a hopeless situation, the scorpion stings itself, thereby dooming itself to a painful death.
Plants
Matvey's totemic plants are walnut and freesia.
Nut
This is a symbol of understanding the secrets of the world around us, a symbol of abundance, life, fertility, a successful marriage, and also fertility.
In addition, the nut symbolizes justice. Double nut is the personification of love and friendship. The nut shell is a secret wisdom that is not easy to comprehend.
A walnut rod is an amulet that protects against evil spirits.
Interesting fact! In the Christian tradition, a split walnut is the personification of Jesus, with the shell symbolizing the tree of the Holy Cross, while the green outer shell represents the body of Christ, and the kernel symbolizes his divine nature.
Freesia
Freesia is the personification of charm, sophistication and youth.
This beautiful flower symbolizes youth, trust, calm, serenity and self-confidence.
Metal
Matthew's metal is gold, personifying divine intelligence, luxury, chosenness, dignity, greatness and power.
This metal symbolizes immortality and infinity. But gold also has a negative feature: for example, this metal is identified with decadence, lust for gold and the corruption of existence.
In the Christian tradition, gold is a symbol of the triumph of faith, superiority, perfection and wisdom.

The legend of the name Matvey (Matthew)
There is a legend about one of the twelve apostles - Matthew Levi, who before receiving the apostolic rank was a tax collector in Galilee. When the Lord called Matthew, he left everything he had acquired and went with the other eleven disciples and Jesus Christ to preach Christianity.
Before going with his sermons to other countries, he wrote the Gospel for the Jews who remained in Jerusalem (it is the Gospel of this apostle that heads a number of books of the New Testament).
The Apostle Matthew preached in Syria, Media, Persia and Parthia.
Matthew ended his righteous life in Ethiopia, where he suffered martyrdom, but before that he managed to convert several idolaters to the faith of Christ. In addition, in this country, inhabited by cannibals with cruel customs, the apostle founded the Church, and also erected a temple in Myrmen.
The Apostle Matthew fervently prayed that the Ethiopians would renounce paganism and convert to the true faith. During one of these prayers, the Lord appeared to him, taking the form of a young man. The young man gave the apostle a rod and ordered it to be placed at the door of the temple (later a fruitful tree grew from this rod, the roots of which became a source of water). The Lord said that by eating the fruit of this tree and washing itself with its waters, the Ethiopians would become kind and abandon paganism.
When Matthew went to the temple to install the rod, he met the wife and son of Fulvian, the pagan ruler of this country, who was possessed by an unclean spirit. Matthew healed his wife and son, thereby contributing to the conversion of many Ethiopians to the faith of Christ.
Fulvian perceived the conversion of the Ethiopians to another faith negatively. Moreover, he seized the apostle, after which, accusing him of witchcraft, he ordered his execution by burning. But the fire did not harm Matthew, then, by order of Fulvian, brushwood, previously doused with resin, was added to the fire, but the flaring flame scorched Fulvian himself, who, frightened, began to beg the holy apostle for mercy. Matthew cried out to the Lord, after which the flame subsided, and his soul left his unharmed body and went to the Lord.
But Fulvian still doubted the holiness of the apostle, and therefore ordered his body to be placed in an iron coffin and thrown into the sea. Fulvian reasoned as follows: if the apostle’s body remains unharmed again, then he will recognize the One True God. Matthew's body remained untouched by the water, and Fulvian accepted the true faith, and they christened him Matthew. Fulvian subsequently became a bishop and continued to educate his people.

Meaning of the name Matvey (Matthew)
For a child
Little Matvey is a calm, open, kind, balanced and obedient child, so it is not surprising that family and friends sincerely love this boy, who has no aggression or anger.
This strong and healthy little boy does not cause any trouble for his parents, since from an early age he is independent and responsible. In addition, Matvey does not like to quarrel and sort things out, so he tries to stay away from courtyard squabbles (he believes that any dispute can and should be resolved peacefully).
But little Matvey’s patience should not be tested, since injustice and aggression towards him or his loved ones awakens the fighting spirit in this boy. So, if necessary, he will be able to defend his “place in the sun” with the help of his fists. But no matter how angry Matvey is, he quickly “cools down” (he cannot be called vindictive and vindictive).
Matvey is an honest boy who does not deceive anyone, and he himself values such qualities as decency and devotion.
He studies well at school, although he rarely turns out to be an excellent student, and all for the reason that the educational process itself does not really captivate him (Matvey tries to study well in order to justify the expectations placed on him, because he has a highly developed sense of duty).
For a teenager
Young Matvey can be described as a quiet and modest guy who does not like to stand out from the crowd. He slowly but confidently walks towards his goal, without interfering with anyone, but he shouldn’t cross the road either, so as not to “awaken the beast in him.”
Matvey is a real peacemaker who does not tolerate conflicts and disputes, but, on the contrary, tries to reconcile everyone. His honesty attracts and repels people at the same time: on the one hand, this quality inspires respect and endears him to Matvey, and on the other, it makes others afraid of the straightforwardness of a teenager with this name. Matvey himself is not at all embarrassed by this situation, since he believes that a friend should be alone, but loyal, honest and reliable.
It is quite natural that Matvey is a true friend and comrade who will immediately come to the rescue at any time of the day. However, his friends must take into account the fact that he is very touchy, and quarrels with loved ones are real torture for him.
In general, he is attached to his family and especially to his parents, whose opinion is always authoritative for him. Growing up, he never ceases to love his parents with tender and pure love, manifested in his attention and care.
For a man
The adult Matvey, due to his modesty, is devoid of ambitious plans and ambitions; he prefers to remain in the shadows and not attract unnecessary attention to himself. This life position prevents him from achieving a high position in society. Although this man’s selflessness, honesty, conscientiousness and responsibility are always appreciated by his superiors.
Matvey is an absolutely unselfish person who never seeks benefit from anything, his actions and thoughts are always sincere and pure. But still, you shouldn’t think that Matvey is a “shirt guy”: far from it, he is a rather secretive and discreet person who does not like to put his feelings on public display, so it is often difficult for others to understand what mood he is in.
Even in his adult life, Matvey does not forget about his peacekeeping mission, therefore he takes an active part in the process of reconciliation of warring parties.
Among Matvey's negative character traits, one can note excessive self-criticism, as well as intolerance to the shortcomings of those people who surround him.
In general, Matvey is a responsive, patient, sensitive and loyal person, who is quite difficult to unbalance. He is capable of remembering an insult for a long time, but he is unlikely to dare to take revenge.
Description of the name Matvey (Matthew)
Moral
Matvey tries to strictly adhere to the high moral ideals and principles established in society. He is honest, selfless and devoid of vanity.
Health
In general, Matvey does not complain about his health, although from time to time he may experience problems associated with vision and the functioning of the musculoskeletal system.
Love
Matvey is very amorous, but this does not mean that he will cheat on his chosen one (if he falls in love, he will definitely leave the old relationship so as not to offend the feelings of his former lover).
Such amorousness leads to the fact that Matvey spends a long time searching for his true love, and very often he becomes disappointed in both his partners and his marriages (and the owner of this name can have many marriages).
His beloved must have a calm and patient disposition, since squabbles and scandals only push Matvey away. It is important for this man that his chosen one is feminine and gentle, because he perceives a woman as a muse that inspires deeds and accomplishments.
Marriage
Matvey marries quite late, and does it not so much out of love, but because of the understanding that it is time to settle down and start a family and children. It is the lack of love between spouses that often becomes the reason that Matvey’s marriage is unhappy, although he never admits this to himself or to others.
Despite the fact that his family life may not work out, he will never cheat on his wife, because he considers such an act unworthy of a real man.
Matvey can create a successful family tandem with a soft and diplomatic woman who will understand him and will not be involved in his upbringing.
Family relationships
Matvey is a thrifty husband who will do everything so that his family does not need anything, but the ideality of his family relationships is most often ostentatious. Yes, he adores his children, but he is mostly inattentive to his wife (moreover, he can be harsh and irritable towards her, especially if his wife tries to limit his freedom).
If a wife wants to win over her husband named Matvey as much as possible, then it is enough to enlist the support and love of his parents, from whose tutelage he does not leave even in adulthood.
Sexuality
Matvey, despite his amorousness, can hardly be called a ladies' man, since he meets girls reluctantly, fearing that they won't like him. Such excessive modesty leads to the fact that sexually he feels insecure and constrained.
Intimate life for him never comes first in a relationship, so he does not consider it necessary to make any efforts to diversify it and make it brighter. Therefore, a passionate and temperamental partner will very quickly get bored with a monotonous relationship with Matvey.
Mind (intelligence)
Matvey has a very lively mind, which, combined with a developed imagination, makes this man an interesting conversationalist. At the same time, the ability to analyze allows him to apply his abilities in scientific fields.
Profession
Matvey is a hardworking, responsible and disciplined worker who rarely achieves great career heights because of his modesty. Most suitable for him are those professions in which he can use his hands and creative component (this could be the profession of an engineer, carpenter, designer and furniture assembler, sculptor, blacksmith, mechanic or salesman).
In addition, he will be an equally successful journalist, lawyer or writer.
In his work life, Matvey is driven not by vanity (careerism is completely absent in him), but by a sense of duty, which prevents him from occupying high leadership positions.
Business
Matvey, as a businessman, will find himself in the so-called “small business”, but he will not strive to expand his business, since he is of the opinion that big money entails big problems. He will earn just enough for him and his family to live comfortably.
Hobbies
Matvey prefers to spend his holidays with friends, with whom he goes to football and hockey games. He doesn’t mind just watching TV at home, playing cards or reading another book.
In addition, Matvey is the type of man who knows how to relax while working physically. Like this? Easy: the owner of this name gets real pleasure when he makes something with his own hands or works in the garden.
Character type
Matvey is most often a melancholic person (you can read about this type of character in the article “Elements, planets and numbers in human life”).
Psyche
Matvey is a very restrained person who knows how to control his emotions, which helps him emerge victorious from quite controversial situations. He is objective and reasonable, calm and fair, but at the same time putting pressure on him is not so easy.
The owner of this name values morality, good nature and sincerity in people. He treats others the way he would like people to treat him. At the same time, those around him often disappoint him with their unworthy behavior, but Matvey never condemns anyone, believing that everyone is free to do as they see fit.
Matvey's drawback is his love of argument: this man will defend his opinion to the end, but at the same time he will never stoop to humiliating or insulting his opponent.
Intuition
Matvey is the owner of well-developed intuition, so he often relies on his “inner voice,” which extremely rarely fails him.
