Meaning & origin
Matie is a rare feminine name that first appeared in vital records in 1880, the earliest year of Social Security data availability. Despite its initial recording, it never attained a rank among the top names and has an extremely low incidence, reflected in a virtually undetectable one-in-N ratio. Its peak usage also occurred in 1880, the very first year of data, after which it largely faded from use. The trajectory for Matie is classified as stable, indicating no significant resurgence or decline, but rather a persistent rarity. Top states where Matie was recorded are not widely known, and the name’s standalone use as a given name is virtually nonexistent in modern times.
Matie is a pet form or diminutive derived from various longer names such as Martha, Matilda, or Mary. It emerged in the 19th century as an affectionate nickname, particularly common in Scotland and northern England. Its use as an independent given name was rare and mostly confined to the late 1800s.
