Matheson is a surname derived from the patronymic form of a short form of the English Matthew.[1] This English personal name is ultimately derived from the Hebrew Mattathia, which means "gift of God".[2] An early record form of the surname Matheson is Mathyson, recorded in 1392;[3][4] this recorded name literally means "son of Mathi"—Mathi being a pet form of Matthew.[3] Two different Scottish Gaelic surnames have been Anglicised Matheson. One such surname is Mac Mhathghamhuin (Clan Matheson), which became Anglicised Matheson on account of its similar sound.[4][5] This Gaelic surname is of an entirely different etymology than Matheson, as the Gaelic mathghamhuin means "bear".[4][5][6]{{#tag:ref|The English bear translates into modern Scottish Gaelic as mathan,[7] and math-ghamhainn.[8] In modern Scottish Gaelic, the older termination -uinn is rendered -ainn.[9]|group=note}} Another Gaelic surname Anglicised Matheson is Mac Matha.[4] This Gaelic surname is derived from the patronymic form of a Gaelic form of Matthew[4][5][10] (for example, the modern Scottish Gaelic Mata and Matha are cognates of the English Matthew).[2]People with the surname- Alexander Matheson (disambiguation), multiple people
