Tadd Origin and Meaning

Tadd is a masculine name typically considered a variant or short form of Thaddeus, which has Aramaic origins meaning 'gift of God' or 'courageous heart.' This concise, strong-sounding name has a contemporary feel despite its ancient roots. The double 'd' ending gives it a distinctive quality that sets it apart from the more common 'Tad.' While never extremely popular, Tadd saw modest usage in the United States during the mid-20th century. It provides an interesting alternative to more common short names like Chad or Brad, offering similar brevity but with a slightly more uncommon profile.
