Where this word comes from

Of Germanic origin, from Proto-Germanic *Mattija (“that which belongs to the Matto”), from *Matto, the name of a stream, of uncertain origin, probably from a pre-Germanic hydronym *Matna. Compare the first element of the river Matzoff. Weaker theories include: * *mēþą (“mowing”), as in mowable grassland, * Proto-Indo-European *meh₂d- (“to be wet”), * the Gaulish name Mattos, shortened from a Celtic compound beginning in Proto-Celtic *matis (“good”).
