Meaning & Origin of Thad
Origin: Aramaic/Greek (short form of Thaddeus, disputed etymology).
A common claim: means gift of God Actually: This likely conflates Thaddeus with unrelated 'gift of God' names like Theodore or Matthew; Thaddeus's disputed root more plausibly traces to an Aramaic word for 'heart' (i.e. courageous).
