Origin
Meaning and history of Matthewalexande
The name Matthewalexande is a unique amalgamation of two distinct given names, Matthew and Alexander. It does not appear to have a specific language or cultural origin, but rather seems to be a modern combination of these two traditional names.
Matthew is derived from the Hebrew name Mattityahu, which means "gift of Yahweh" or "gift of God." It was borne by one of the twelve apostles in the New Testament. The name was widely adopted among early Christian communities and has been popular in various forms throughout Europe and the English-speaking world.
Alexander, on the other hand, has its roots in the Greek name Alexandros, meaning "defender of men." It was the name of several kings and rulers in ancient Greece, most notably Alexander the Great, the legendary Macedonian conqueror who established one of the largest empires in antiquity during the 4th century BC.
While the combined name Matthewalexande does not have any direct historical references or appearances in ancient texts or religious scriptures, it is possible that it was formed as a unique combination of the two traditional names to honor or celebrate the individual's heritage or family connections.

Notable individuals named Alexander throughout history include:

2. Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837), a celebrated Russian poet and writer regarded as the founder of modern Russian literature.

How many people in the U.S. are named Matthewalexande?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Matthewalexande going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

When was Matthewalexande most popular?

What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Matthewalexande in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Matthewalexande in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Matthewalexande still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Matthewalexande in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Matthewalexande can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
