"Traditional name"
The name Thaddaeus is commonly a male name.
Thaddaeus is the Greek and Latin spelling of an Aramaic name. In the New Testament it appears as the byname of one of the twelve apostles, written Thaddaeus in Matthew 10:3 and Mark 3:18, and the Latin Vulgate transmits the same double-d form. The name reached English as Thaddeus. The meaning of the underlying Aramaic word is not settled, and published proposals differ, so no single meaning can be stated as fact.
