Is Matt short for Matthew all the time?

That's the origin I think, but not necessarily always given or wanted as a shortening of Matthew. Might also be Mattias.

[ozzmanzig]

No, my name is just Leo and my wifes name is Just Becky.

[MissLogical]

It can be but it doesn't have to be. It can also be short for something else or just be Matt.

[ghostqueen]

Most of the time. It could be short for Matteo or just stand on its own.

[beebella]

Besides other variations of the name Matthew, what else would it be short for? Mattress?

[Anonymous]

No, it's also short for Mattnanaha and Mattdanderat.

[DylanB01]

depends on his nationality if he's from Europe it could be Matthais

I went to school with a boy named Madison and we called him Matt for short.

[LisaLisa89]

No. It's also an adjective meaning not glossy.

[Band_freak]

... that's matte not matt

[TheStaleMarshmellow]

Matte*

[LisaLisa89]

@TheStaleMarshmellow that depends on what language you're using. But not in British English it isn't.
