Claudi Origin and Meaning

The name Claudi is a girl's name.

Claudi is a feminine name that functions as a shortened form of Claudia, which derives from the Latin 'claudus' meaning 'lame' or 'crippled.' Despite this etymology, the name has long been associated with nobility and distinction through its connection to the ancient Roman Claudian family. Claudi offers a more casual, modern feel compared to the classic Claudia while retaining its Roman heritage. The name has never been widely used in English-speaking countries but has seen occasional usage in European countries, particularly those with Spanish or German language influence. Its brevity gives it a contemporary appeal while still connecting to a name with rich historical associations spanning thousands of years.
