Luke 19 includes the account of Jesus and Zacchaeus the tax collector, and there is no mention of Zacchaeus being surnamed Matthias. Indeed, Zacchaeus's family name is not mentioned at all. However, there was another tax collector named Matthew, also known as Levi, who (like Zacchaeus) changed his ways after meeting Jesus. In Acts chapter one, when Matthias is chosen to replace Judas as one of the twelve apostles, there is no mention of another name for him.
The Bible mentions Matthias in Acts 1:3-26, but doesn't answer this question. Church tradition also appears silent on the life of Matthias previous to being elected as an apostle.
Matthias was the disciple chosen to replace Judas.
The Acts of Apostles Chapter 1 talks about Matthias as being the thirteenth disciples.
After replacing Judas Iscariot as one of the twelve apostles, Matthias is not mentioned again in the Bible.

NKJV Acts 1:23-26 23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts chapter 1. He's not mentioned again.
Judas was replaced by Matthias in the Bible because Judas betrayed Jesus by handing him over to the authorities, leading to his crucifixion. The other disciples felt it was necessary to fill the vacant position among the twelve apostles, and Matthias was chosen through a process of prayer and casting lots.
