matecej

Matecej is a surname of Slavic origin, found in central Europe, particularly in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It is generally regarded as a patronymic derivation from the given name Matej, the Slovak and Czech form of Matthew, with a suffix that marks lineage or belonging. The spelling and pronunciation may vary by region and over time.

In contemporary records, Matecej is relatively uncommon and has limited attestation in English-language sources. Notable individuals with this exact surname have not been widely documented in major encyclopedias; when present, people bearing the name may appear in local genealogical or historical records rather than on an international stage.

The name is sometimes confused with or related to Matej, a common given name, and to other surnames derived from Matthew in various languages. Because surname spellings and etymologies can differ across families and regions, precise origins may vary and may be better established through genealogical research or regional archival sources.
