Names with same meaning as Matthew

Boy Names
1

Our first son has a very meaningful name and we are struggling to find a name that is equally meaningful for our second son. I thought one way of getting there would be to use a name that shares meaning with Dad’s name, [name]Matthew[/name], which means “gift of God.” We don’t want to do a [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Jr[/name]. and unfortunately [name]Matteo[/name] is out. Ideally the name will have a bit of edge so he can keep up with brother [name]Harley[/name] [name]Bruce[/name].

So do you know any names that have the same meaning as [name]Matthew[/name]?

[name]Nathaniel[/name] or [name]Jonathan[/name] would work: [name]Jesse[/name] might as well.

3

[name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] both mean the same as [name]Matthew[/name]. :slight_smile:

4

[name]Theodore[/name] means God’s gift. I think [name]Harley[/name] and [name]Theo[/name] sound really cute together. [name]Jonathan[/name] has the same meaning as [name]Matthew[/name].

5

[name]Thaddeus[/name] (nn [name]Thad[/name])

[name]Thijs[/name] (pr Tice)

6

[name]Nathaniel[/name] has the same meaning as [name]Matthew[/name]!

7

In the Bible, [name]Matthew[/name] is also called [name]Levi[/name]. (See: What's in a name? Matthew or Levi | The New Theological Movement )

While it doesn’t have the same meaning, I think [name]Levi[/name] pairs very well with [name]Harley[/name].

8

I would just like to suggest [name]Massey[/name]. It’s an old nickname for [name]Matthew[/name] that I think works really well with brother [name]Harley[/name].
