Means "thanksgiving." A character named Todah features in Sanhedrin 43a in the Talmud, during an apocryphal description of the death of Yeshua the Nazarene, as one of his five disciples. This may have been the way early Rabbinic Jews understood the Christian apostle Thaddaeus, originally, Taddai. Todah uses a pun with his own name, alluding to Psalm 100:1, saying, "A psalm of thanksgiving {toda}," and the judges of the Sanhedrin respond with Psalm 50:23 - "Whoever slaughters a thanks-offering {toda} honors Me" before sentencing him to death.
