What's included in the Matthias worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital M + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #372; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in M

Matthias is a solid practice name: a capital “M” and 7 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. The diagonal strokes in “M” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The double “t” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Matthias was the #372 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Matthias tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Matthias is formed:

M — A big line down, then from the top: slant down to the baseline, slant back up, and one more big line down.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side. Matthias uses it twice.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top. Matthias uses it twice.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Four of Matthias's 8 letters stand full height on the guides — “M”, “t” and “h”. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Matthias is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 boys' names — still ahead of 601 of the 965 here.

Matthias was the #372 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.

Tips for tracing Matthias

Open each session with “M” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Matthias feel shorter than it is.
At 8 letters, Matthias is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
Treat the repeated “t” as a bonus rep — tracing the same letter twice in a row is how a shape stops needing thought.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, tall, tall, small, small, small” — the size pattern of Matthias sticks faster when it has words.
Close with a single unguided Matthias on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Matthias always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

The size option changes the guide-line height. Matthias is a longer name, so medium or small keeps every letter on the line — save large for isolated stroke practice.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Matthias print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
