What Does the Name Masias Mean?
Masias is a rare spelling of the Iberian name Macías, also written Masías, which is generally connected with Spanish Matías, the equivalent of Matthias, meaning "gift of God." Matthias goes back to Greek Maththias and Hebrew Mattityahu, literally "gift of Yahweh"; the Hebrew name combines mattan, "gift," with a shortened form of the divine name. The spelling with s is consistent with Spanish pronunciation, in which c before i sounds like s in many regions. The exact route from Matías to Macías is not fully documented, and some treatments regard Macías as an independent Iberian surname of uncertain origin. A separate surname origin is possible as well: Spanish masía and Catalan masia mean a farmhouse, so some families named Masías may take their name from a property rather than from Matthias.
Masias Name History & Origins
According to the Acts of the Apostles, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot among the twelve apostles, and devotion to him helped carry the name into Latin as Matthias and into Spanish as Matías. The variant Macías appears in medieval Iberian usage; the Galician-Portuguese poet Macías, later remembered in the legend of Macías el Enamorado, is its best-known medieval bearer. The spelling Masias is consistent with a later phonetic rendering of Macías in regions where c before i is pronounced like s. As a first name, Masias is uncommon; its use may reflect a transferred surname or a variant spelling rather than a separate traditional name with its own line of development.
