Matthew is a male given name, commonly pronounced with two syllables. It starts with a stressed /ˈmæ-/ or /ˈmæt/ onset and ends with a light, unstressed /-θjuː/ or /-uː/ ending in many varieties. The name has biblical roots and is widely used in English-speaking countries, often used as a formal given name or in reference to the biblical evangelist. The pronunciation varies slightly by dialect, but the core is a two-syllable, H-stress pattern with a soft, palatal vowel at the end in many accents.
