No it does not mean "nothing", it's short for Thanatos which is a name for the fraudian concept of "death drive", the drive compelling organisms to kill and destroy

Yes I know what you really meant but I got curious about where the name came from

    Thanatos is the name of the Greek god/personification of the moment of death. Freud (lol fraud) would've been using that name as everyone reading his work would have been familiar with The Illiad and other works featuring Thanatos.
