Thaddaeus n 1: (New Testament) supposed brother of St. James; one of the Apostles who is invoked in prayer when a situation seems hopeless [syn: Jude, Saint Jude, St. Jude, Judas, Thaddaeus]
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Thaddaeus breast, the name of one of the apostles (Mark 3:18), called "Lebbaeus" in Matt. 10:3, and in Luke 6:16, "Judas the brother of James;" while John (14:22), probably referring to the same person, speaks of "Judas, not Iscariot." These different names all designate the same person, viz., Jude or Judas, the author of the epistle.
