Claudy Origin and Meaning

The name Claudy is a girl's name.

Claudy is a feminine name that likely developed as a diminutive form of Claude or Claudia, both deriving from the Latin name Claudius, meaning 'lame' or 'limping.' This name has a gentle, sweet quality with its soft ending, creating a playful variation of the more formal classical names. While more commonly found as a surname or place name (particularly in Northern Ireland), Claudy as a given name has remained unusual, giving it a distinctive quality. In France, it sometimes appears as a masculine name. The name has a charming vintage feel that appeals to parents looking for something retro yet uncommon, with the familiar 'y' ending adding an affectionate, diminutive quality.
