Mata

Mata is a gender-neutral name thanks to its wide range of origins. Its Hebrew roots link Mata to Matthew, meaning "gift of Yahweh" or "God's gift," and the word migdál, meaning "elegant," "great," and "tower." Mata also stems from the Indonesian and Malay word matahari, which means "sun," with mata directly translating to "eye." As a short form of the Greek Stamatina and Stamatia, Mata can also be interpreted as "stop." Finally, Mata's Latin roots link it to none other than the Roman god of war, with the meaning "descendant of Mars" as a diminutive of Martinus. Rooted in languages all across the globe, Mata truly is a worldly title for your kiddo to behold!
