From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

  Thaddaeus
       n : (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}]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:



  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.
