Claudia
Featured in baby name books
Claudia is the feminine of Claudius and comes from Latin for “lame.” The name stayed popular despite its meaning, thanks largely to the Roman Emperor Claudius. Claudia was a Christian in Rome whose greetings Paul passed along to Timothy. Model Claudia Schiffer lends the name glamour, and in Germany it is pronounced more like CLOUD-ee-ah.
