Thaddus is an ancient and distinctive given name of Greek origin, derived from 'Theudas,' which means 'gift of God.' It was popular among early Christians due to its religious connotation. The name Thaddus is also associated with one of the seventy disciples of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, often identified as Lebbaeus or Thaddeus. Despite its historical and biblical roots, Thaddus remains a relatively rare name today, adding to its uniqueness.
The name Thaddus was popular during the early to mid-20th century, with the most notable years being 1962 with 8 births and 1918 with 7 births. However, it seems that its popularity has declined since then, as there were only 5 births each year from 1952 onwards except for a brief spike in 1962. Overall, Thaddus had a total of 86 births over the given period.
