 I don't know exactly about Middle Saxon, but the modern name "Matthias" is
stressed on the second syllable and I don't see why this shouldn't have been
the case with the precursor of the "Thies" variant.

Closely related is the name "Theis" which also occurs in the north of
Germany and goes back to "Tewes" and (at least that's what I think)
"Matthäus".

How about Tiwaz?

cheers,
Henry
