As with many French family names, the distinguished surname Mathieu is rich in ancient heritage. The earliest forms of
hereditary surnames in France were the
patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The name Mathieu is derived from the
Hebrew Biblical given name Matityahu (Matthew), meaning gift of God.
Early Origins of the Mathieu family
The surname Mathieu was first found in Burgundy (French: Bourgogne), an administrative and historical region of east-central France where the family has held a
family seat since early times.
