Pronunciation: [mˈaθjuː] (IPA) 
The name Matheu can be a little tricky when it comes to spelling. It is pronounced as /məˈtjuː/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The "e" before the "u" makes the "u" sound like "yoo". So if you're trying to spell this name, remember to use "e" instead of "i" after the "t" to get the correct pronunciation. Matheu is an uncommon spelling of the name Matthew, but it still follows the same pronunciation rule as the more common spelling.
The name "Matheu" is of Hebrew origin and is derived from the name "Matthew". The name Matthew comes from the Greek name "Matthaios" which is ultimately derived from the Hebrew name "Mattityahu" or "Matityahu", meaning "gift of Yahweh" or "gift of God". In Christian tradition, Matthew is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and also the author of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The name Matthew became popular in Europe as Christianity spread, and "Matheu" likely emerged as a variant spelling or pronunciation.
