What is the hebrew name for 'mathew'?

with english spelling too, thanks...and how do you translate a spanish surname to hebrew? it's a '-cion' surname, and i don't know how to substitute the letter to hebrew letter

What is the hebrew name for 'mathew'?
Matthew is derived from the Hebrew name 诪转转讬讛讜 [mattityahu].


Matthew the Evangelist is known in Hebrew as 诪转讬 [mati], not to be mistaken with Mattathias HaCohen.





What is your surname? The suffix "-cion" is transliterated as 住讬讜谉-.


e.g.:


Concepci贸n- 拽讜谞住驻住讬讜谉


Devoci贸n- 讚讜讜住讬讜谉


Educacion- 讗讚讜拽住讬讜谉
Reply:It'd be spelled Matityahu or, depending on where your family is from, Matisyahu. (Though I do know one person who's name is Mathew but uses the Hebrew name Moshe).


In terms of the -cion name, do you think you could put up the whole name, because I'm not quite sure what you mean by substituting a letter since you want it in english letters anyway.





Hope this helps!
Reply:Either 诪转讬 Matey, or 诪转转讬讛讜 Matityahu.


I don't know how you pronounce the '-cion' but it sounds like 爪讬讜止谉 to me, that would sound like 'tsion'.
