Matviy is a Ukrainian male given name of Slavic origin, derived from the Latin 'Matthew', which means "gift of God". It is widely used in Ukraine and among speakers of Slavic languages. The name Matviy was popularized by Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ in Christianity, who wrote one of the four canonical Gospels according to his own interpretations. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Matviy is often associated with piety and wisdom due to its biblical roots.
