Reasoning For The Name Appearing in Other Parts of Europe
The name Matteis can be found in other parts of Europe, including Germany, England, etc. This is probably due to migration out of Italy. Matteis families in Germany most likely are a result of the Matteis families in the Piemonte region of Italy moving North. Some Matteis families can be found in England and other parts of Europe. For example, the violinist Nicola Matteis traveled to London in the early 1670s. Still, most families can be found in Italy, where the name originated.
