My instinct was ma-TIE-us like Matthias but I can see why Iā€™m wrong, if thatā€™s any consolation :sweat_smile:

Iā€™d say ma-TEE-uhs or ma-TY-uhs and would probably ask the person before assuming one of the two.

I say it this way! Iā€™d never really heard the name before I watched Frozen II, which has a character called Matthias. Anna pronounced his name ā€œmuh-tee-ehs,ā€ so thatā€™s now my default. Lol!
