I love this name so much. My grandfather, and many others in my family tree, bore the polish version Tadeusz. This name is so strong, rare, and beautiful. Nicknames include Teddy and Thad. I would love to use this on a son. It is one of my favourite names.
What an awesome name. Just radiates power and confidence. I wish it was more common but then again rarity makes it that much more unique and awesome.

I absolutely love this name because it's so wonderful, cool, handsome and very nice. ❤❤.
It's alright, but I wouldn't use it.
As a kid watching a tv show featuring a character with this name, I always thought his name was “Fattius” because my hearing couldn’t make out what it actually was and the pronunciation makes it sound like that. Mind you, I also didn’t know about the existence and proper spelling of this name. It’s really comical to look back on and I hope this helps someone out there because I think one should take into account any possible ‘sound-alikes’ before picking a name. As an adult, I think it’s alright but the nickname “Tad” is easier to hear properly.
I like this name. It has a good meaning and it may sound and look old but there are nicknames like Ted, Teddy, or even Dee to make it more modern. The name is unique and it soon grows on you.
It's alright.

Great name but the nickname Tad only makes me think of Tadpoles. Yuck.
Love this name. Really dislike the nicknames though... Ted, Teddy, Tad, Taddy, Thad, Deuce... ew. Just stick with Thaddeus and it will be a winner.
I really like the name Thaddeus. It's on my guilty pleasure list because it sounds so cool and in my opinion '70s, but it's not on my main list because it is going up in popularity. However, it is staying in the three figures, which is a happy medium.Some people think the diminutive Tad is a "tad" boring, bland, or uncreative, but I love it. It sounds very much like the name of any normal guy, except with his quirks, slightly weirder than your average Mike but more on par with Jeff.

Feminine forms of this name include Thaddea or Thaddaea (English), Tadea (Spanish), Taddea (Italian), and Thaddäa (German). I have also found these very unusual English feminine forms derived from Thaddeus: Thaddette, Thaddine, Thaddene, Thaddina and Thaddena. I just Google searched the names and found that there are women with those names.
The forms Thadette, Thadine, etc do not necessarily derive from Thaddeus. They are common Eastern Frisian feminine forms of the name Thade, deriving from Germanic names containing the name element THIOT "people".

It's derived from the Aramaic word "tadda", an appellation one would give to a close friend or younger sibling (literally, it means "breast" - but think of the phrase "bosom buddy" and you'll see why this makes sense). Henceforth, a very loose translation would be "friend".
