A historical figure, specifically the Roman Emperor Claudius (10 BC – 54 AD), known for conquering Britain and administrative reforms.
A Latin name derived from 'claudus' meaning 'lame' or 'limping,' which Emperor Claudius actually was. The name was used by Roman families with nobility status.
Claudius's reign is a perfect example of how history gets shaped by popularity—he was actually a capable ruler and scholar, but Shakespeare made him a villain in Hamlet, and that story stuck in most people's minds.
