Thaddaeus
One of twelve
Thaddaeus is a male given name of Aramaic origin, appearing in the New Testament as one of Jesus's twelve apostles.
The name is sometimes equated with Judas son of James, creating confusion among biblical scholars.
It remains uncommon in modern use, though variants like Thaddeus are occasionally encountered: Saint Thaddaeus is venerated in Armenian Christianity.
