Matvii, pronounced maht-VEE, springs from Ukrainian roots, traveling through Greek and Hebrew history to mean the ever-encouraging “gift of God.” Picture a tiny dancer stepping onto life’s stage with a bold blue-and-gold cape; that’s the spirit many parents feel in this name—courage, faith, and a splash of Slavic pride. Though still a hidden gem in the U.S. charts (only 11 little Matviis appeared in 2024), its upward beat hints at a quiet salsa drum calling families who love names that feel both classic and fresh. He carries the same timeless meaning as Matthew, yet Matvii rolls off the tongue like a quick guitar riff, giving tradition a modern twirl. In short, it’s a joyful choice for a baby boy born to light up the room and remind us all that life itself is a beautiful gift.
