Matteuksen

Matteuksen is the Finnish genitive form of the given name Matteus, the Finnish form of Matthew. In Finnish, genitive forms are used to indicate possession or association and appear in titles, phrases, and proper names rather than as independent given names.

As a grammatical form, Matteuksen is most commonly seen in religious and literary contexts. A prominent example is Matteuksen evankeliumi, the Gospel of Matthew, in which Matteus is in the genitive to denote the author of the gospel. Other instances include possessive phrases such as Matteuksen suvun jäsenet (members of Matteus’s family).

In everyday usage, Matteuksen is not used as a personal name; it functions as a grammatical form. It is related to other Finnish genitive forms of biblical names, such as Johanneksen (John’s) and Markuksen (Mark’s).
