A feminine given name of Latin origin, traditionally used across European cultures and popular in English-speaking countries.
From Latin 'Claudius,' which derives from 'claudus' meaning 'lame' or 'limping.' The name was borne by Roman aristocratic families, and the feminine form 'Claudia' became established in early Christian tradition through biblical references. The name evolved through Romance languages and became common throughout Europe during the medieval period.
