In some regional dialects of Brazil, the final 's' in Mateus can be softened or pronounced similarly to a 'sh' sound, depending on the speaker's origin.
In many Portuguese-speaking countries, the name is often paired with a second name, such as Mateus Henrique, to create a more formal and traditional full name.
