מַתִּתְיָ֫הוּ

The Hebrew word "מַתִּתְיָ֫הוּ" (mat.tit.yah) is a proper name, specifically a personal name, as indicated by its classification in the semantic domain. Transliterated as "Mattithiah," this name is unique to the Bible, appearing only once in the text. The structure of the name is typical of Hebrew names, which often combine elements to create a unique identity. In this case, "Mattithiah" likely consists of two elements: "Mattith" and "Yah." The first part may be related to the Hebrew word for "gift" or "present," while the second part is a shortened form of the name "Yahweh," the God of the Israelites. This combination may be interpreted as "Gift of Yahweh" or a similar meaning. Given its singular occurrence in the Bible, the significance of "Mattithiah" lies in its association with a specific individual, whose identity and story are not further elaborated in the text.
