Hi all. How is Matthias pronounced - is it Ma -tie -as or Ma - thigh - as? Thanks!

MATT-EE-ASS

Ma-THIGH-as
with an emphasis on the middle syllable. Nice name!

The Matthias I know pronounces his name as

Mat-EE-as with the emphasis on the EE.

I've heard it pronounced both as Ma-TIE-as and Ma-TEE-as. Nickname is mostly Mat/Mattie.

Ma-tay-as. I'm in Germany and there are a lot of them around.

I know a Ma - thigh - as.

I know a Ma-TEE-as.

It can be pronounced both ways. In English it's usually Ma-thigh-as.

It's gorgeous but he will inevitably be a Matt! No bad thing, of course.

I like it a lot - I know an English Ma-thigh-as, and a German Ma-tie-as.
