Matheson can be a surname derived from the patronymic form of a short form of the English ''Matthew''.〔. This webpage cited: .〕 This English personal name is ultimately derived from the Hebrew ''Mattathia'', which means "gift of God".〔.〕 An early record form of the surname ''Matheson'' is ''Mathyson'', recorded in 1392;〔.〕〔.〕 this recorded name literally means "son of ''Mathi''"—''Mathi'' being a pet form of ''Matthew''.〔 Two different Scottish Gaelic surnames have been Anglicised ''Matheson''. One such surname is ''Mac Mhathghamhuin'' (Clan Matheson), which became Anglicised ''Matheson'' on account of its similar sound.〔〔.〕 This Gaelic surname is of an entirely different etymology than ''Matheson'', as the Gaelic ''mathghamhuin'' means "bear".〔〔〔.〕 Another Gaelic surname Anglicised ''Matheson'' is ''Mac Matha''.〔 This Gaelic surname is derived from the patronymic form of a Gaelic form of ''Matthew''〔〔〔. This webpage cited: .〕 (for example, the modern Scottish Gaelic ''Mata'' and ''Matha'' are cognates of the English ''Matthew'').〔 ==People with the surname== *Alexander Matheson (disambiguation), multiple people *Arthur Matheson, Canadian politician *Bob Matheson, National Football League player *Charlie Matheson, fictional character in ''Revolution'' *Dan Matheson, Canadian television sportscaster, host & news reader *Danny Matheson, fictional character in ''Revolution'' *Diana Matheson, Canadian football (soccer) midfielder *Donald Macleod Matheson CBE (1896-1979), Secretary of the National Trust, Traditionalist author *Ewing Matheson (1840-1917), British civil engineer and consulting engineer *George Matheson, (1842-1906) Scottish theologian *Guy Matheson, (1952- ) Australian politician *Hans Matheson, Scottish actor *Hugh Matheson, British oarsman *Hugh Mackay Mateson, (1821-1898), Scottish industrialist *James Matheson, Scottish businessman *Jim Matheson, American politician, son of Scott M.
