However, the name may be related to the Hebrew root "תדד" (tadad), which means "to love" or "to cherish."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Thaddaeus is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He is listed among the apostles in the synoptic Gospels and Acts. Thaddaeus is often identified with Judas, son of James, to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Jewish context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or role. Thaddaeus, as one of the lesser-known apostles, is not extensively detailed in the New Testament. However, his inclusion among the twelve signifies his role as a foundational member of the early Christian community. The apostles were chosen by Jesus to be His closest followers and were instrumental in spreading the Gospel after His resurrection and ascension.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2280: Θαδδαῖος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Θαδδαῖος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Θαδδαιου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="hebrew">תַּדַּי</span>, perhaps <span class="accented">large-hearted or courageous,</span> although it has not been shown that <span class="hebrew">תַּד</span> equivalent to the Hebrew <span class="hebrew">שַׁד</span> can mean<span class="latin">pectus</span> as well as<span class="latin">mamma</span>; (some would connect the terms by the fact that the 'child of one's heart' may be also described as a 'bosom-child'; but see <span class="abbreviation">B.
