Across the world, Matute (Matute 
, Матуте 
, מטוטה 
) is a rare mostly male, but infrequently female forename. The first name Matute is habitual in Uruguay, where it is quite a rare male name, South Africa, where it is a very rare largely female, but uncommonly boy's name, and Argentina, where it is a very rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Uruguay, Philippines, and South Africa. Much more prevalently, Matute is the last name as well as the forename.
