Heart; courageous; gift of God
Tadd is primarily a diminutive form of Thaddeus, which has roots in Aramaic and Greek. It is often interpreted as meaning 'heart' or 'courageous' from the Aramaic word 'tadda', though it is also linked to the Greek name Theodoros, meaning 'gift of God'. As a standalone name, it offers a shorter, punchier alternative to the traditional biblical version.
