== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Matt Lewis was born May 15 to Hermes, the god of travelers and thieves, and Margot Lewis, a travel photographer, eighteen years ago. Even as a toddler, Matt had a knack for getting into trouble. Though he always felt different, his mother always told him to embrace his differences. This gave him confidence in his personality.
===Meeting Jem Asturias and Early Expulsions===
When he's 10 years old, Matt meets Jem Asturias at the same boarding school he is attending and the two hit it off so well, that Matt's mom, Margot and Jem's mom put them in the same boarding school for the next year, hoping they can keep an eye on each other.
While gifted at music, both Jem and Matt had gained reputations for being troublemakers and getting expelled from different schools. With their ADHD and Dyslexia, the two were written off by many for having "potential" but not the drive to do anything.
Leading up to the summer after he turned 11, his mom talks about taking him to a special camp where he'll be around other kids like him. He shrugs this conversation off when talking about it to Jem.
===Monster Attack and Camp Half-Blood===
When he's 11 years old, he gets attacked at school and is forced to make the trip from Manhattan to Long Island Sound to Camp Half-Blood where he is told about everything involving the mythological world. Soon after arriving at camp, Matt is claimed by his godly parent, Hermes, and continues his upbeat attitude while at camp, trying to keep Jem's spirits up.
While he is a prankster like most of his siblings, many people at Camp Half-Blood praise his swordsmanship. He usually spars with Jem when he's practicing with his cabin mates.
==Etymology==
*Matthew: English form of Ματθαῖος (Matthaios), which was a Greek form of the Hebrew name מַתִּתְיָהוּ (Mattityahu) meaning "gift of Yahweh", from the roots מַתָּן (mattan) meaning "gift" and יָה (yah) referring to the Hebrew God.
*Henry: From the Germanic name Heimirich meaning "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and rih "ruler". It was later commonly spelled Heinrich, with the spelling altered due to the influence of other Germanic names like Haganrich, in which the first element is hag "enclosure". Heinrich was popular among continental royalty, being the name of seven German kings, starting with the 10th-century Henry I the Fowler (the first of the Saxon kings), and four French kings. In France, it was usually rendered Henri from the Latin form Henricus.
*Lewis: Medieval English form of Louis. From the Germanic name Hludwig meaning "famous in battle", composed of the elements hlut "famous, loud" and wig "war, battle".
