Meaning & Origin of Tadhg
Meaning: Poet.
Origin: Old Irish.
A common claim: Often treated as the Irish equivalent of 'Timothy' or 'Thaddeus,' used interchangeably on English-language records. Actually: That's a historical anglicization convention, not real etymology. Tadhg is etymologically unrelated to Timothy or Thaddeus - it's a native Old Irish word meaning 'poet.'
