由来と歴史
A farmstead name formed from 'Matti' — the Finnish form of 'Matthew', from the Hebrew Mattityahu meaning 'gift of God' — and the locative suffix '-la', meaning 'Matti's farm' or 'the place of Matti'. Matti was one of the most popular male given names in Finland for centuries, and 'Mattila' as a farm name was recorded across the country wherever a family patriarch named Matti founded or dominated a farm. The '-la/-lä' farmstead suffix is especially characteristic of western Finnish dialects and naming traditions, and Mattila is indeed most concentrated in western Finland, Ostrobothnia, and the Turku Archipelago region.
