The first name 
Thadeus

Thadeus is a first name for boys.

Thadeus – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Thadeus has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Thadeus. That means that a boy named Thadeus is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Thadeus.

Thadeus -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Thadeus your parents may be very proud to let their son swim against the tide: The name Thadeus has never ranked higher than position 1,182 in our statistics and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea to choose the name Thadeus for their son. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1918 to give the name more often than usual – only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Thadeus because that was several decades ago – unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in your neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Thadeus was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

2022 - Looking for Thadeus?

As in the last century, Thadeus is still an exception. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire USA. So a Thadeus of 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.

Thadeus -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Thadeus is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 27 Americans in total bear this name. And these 27 men are located in only four states: Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Thadeus and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Thadeus in relation to it’s male population is Wisconsin. And yet even there, only one in 660,046 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Thadeus present.

Thadeus has 7 letters 
and begins with a T

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names. That’s because 6.3% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J, A and D.

With seven letters, the name Thadeus has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

With 6.3% of all boys' names that begin with the letter T, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Thomas is the boys’ name starting with T, which is the most common of all.
