ArchivesMatisyahu
Matisyahu refers to the Hasmonean leader, Matathias (in Greek), who began the revolt against the Seleucid army during the second century BC. Matisyahu was succeeded by his three sons Yehuda, Yonasan and Shimon, who are referred to as the Maccabees.This is the name he was given at his Jewish naming ceremony at eight days old. He was called by his English name Matthew until he reverted back to his given Hebrew name.
Matthew is translated from the Hebrew name, Matityahu, which means "gift of God".

Matisyahu is a Yiddish form of Matityahu. Obviously Matityahu had no English name since he didn't live in England!!! He was never called anything else than Matityahu.

I agree, and furthermore I think it's nonsensical to suggest that the name Matthew (in that form, as opposed to Hebrew and Greek forms) existed *at all* until Christianity spread to England. Certainly we have no evidence for the name Matthew in the second century BC!
