In my native language, my name is nonsense, but I've heard that, to some, it means "Both." My last name is rumored to mean "Teeth" in some areas.
Thanks to my Irish heritage, my last name WOULD have been McMacken.
Which is fucking awesome.
BUT thanks to my adoptive german grandpa, it's now Willich.

Well technically my name's 'meaning' is the same as many of my fellow Cubans:
1. Named after a grandparent or parent
2. Given the name of a Saint/Miraculous Vision/Biblical Figure, a preferred booze, or a vague trait
3. Complete family name (both mother and father).
...and yes, ALL three are components in the creation of the name. Hence why you got might see girls named as follows:
"Maria (granny's name) De La Caridad (Our Lady of Charity, a miraculous vision of the Virgin Mary) Jimenez Socaraz-Hernandez (mother and father's combined complete family names)"

Matthew is Hebrew in origin, and my family ancestry is so convoluted that somewhere along there I'm Japanese, French, and Scottish, so there might be some Hebrew somewhere.
Anyway I can't translate it, though I know it means "Gift of God."

I'm not saying my full name in English (where it originated), though I guess it's a pointless precaution (since my own name shows up in at least two places on the internet). Tapping into my Irish side, I guess my name in Irish Gaelic would be Críostóir O hAodha (or, by modern times and family origin, Christopher Hughes).
