Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Mathghamhna, a patronymic from the byname Mathghamhain literally meaning ‘good calf’, a kenning for ‘bear’.

In northern Ireland it is sometimes Anglicized as Matthews , since Matha was the Irish form of the Biblical name (see McMath ). In Scotland Matheson was used to translate both of these surnames.
