The Chinese name 泰迪 answers it with 泰 (Peace, grand) and 迪 (To enlighten, to open the way) — chosen for sound and sense together, the way a Chinese parent chooses a name rather than the way a wire service transliterates one.

The character itself: From the 大 and the 水, hands and water: the pictograph of a person washing their hands under a pouring stream, the first character to get its meaning from its shape. It became the hexagram of smoothness and ease, and 泰 as a name carries the wish that it stay so. Full 泰 page →
The character itself: To enlighten, to open the way. The oracle bone is a path made by walking a line through grass — a road is a line through what grows wild, and that is the whole derivation. 由 beside 辶, a road beside a passage, which is the classical verb for sending someone out properly equipped.

Two-character seal: courage measured by how open the road gets behind it.
Tadeo is written 泰迪 in Mandarin (tài dí) — one character for the surname 泰 and one for the given name. The characters are chosen to carry the sound and the sense of Tadeo rather than to transliterate it letter by letter, which is how Chinese names are actually made. On this page the seal is carved in the Zhongshan King (中山王) bronze-inscription seal script, with the Academia Sinica Chongxi Small Seal (崇羲篆體) filling any character the main font lacks.
泰迪 breaks down as 泰 (tài) — Peace, grand — the hexagram of the open road; the man safe in the boat that has crossed; 迪 (dí) — To enlighten, to open the way — the oracle bone's path made by walking a line through grass. The seal note we would put under it: Two-character seal: courage measured by how open the road gets behind it.
Pinyin: tài dí — 泰 is tone 4 (a sharp fall, like a full stop); 迪 is tone 2 (a rising pitch, like the start of a question). Mandarin has four tones plus a neutral tone, and getting them wrong is the most common mistake Western speakers make with Chinese names — the seal itself is unaffected, since the carving is of the written form.
Because names in Chinese are chosen, not inherited by sound. 迪 (dí) reads to enlighten, to open the way — the oracle bone's path made by walking a line through grass — and its own history runs: To enlighten, to open the way. The oracle bone is a path made by walking a line through grass — a road is a line through what grows wild, and that is the whole derivation. 由 beside 辶, a road beside a passage, which is the classical verb for sending someone out properly equipped.
