Honor baby’s big heart and kind spirit with the sweet Greek and Aramaic name, Tadeus. Typically masculine, it means “heart” and makes for a meaningful moniker to remind your little one to always be caring and compassionate. Tadeus is a variant of the name Thaddeus which some may recognize from the name of one of Jesus’ 12 apostles, Judas Thaddaeus. Ultimately, Tadeus is derived from Theodorus, which means “gift of God,” and is a lovely choice for showing baby what a gift they are to the world.
