Matea is the Croatian feminine form of Matthew — from the Hebrew Mattityahu (gift of God). Matea Mežak (born 1991) — Croatian tennis player. Matea Kondžić — Croatian artist. Matea Šuvak — modern Croatian figure. Matea Babić — modern Croatian-American figure. Princess Matea — modern Croatian heritage naming.
Matea does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Matea reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
