Klaudia
Klaudia Origin and Meaning
Klaudia is a variant spelling of Claudia, a feminine name with ancient Roman origins. The name comes from the Latin word "claudus" meaning "lame" or "limping," and was originally a family name within the prominent Roman gens Claudia. The spelling with 'K' instead of 'C' reflects Eastern European orthography, particularly in Polish, Hungarian, and other Slavic languages where this version is quite common. Klaudia maintains the same classical elegance as Claudia while offering a distinctive international flair. The name carries associations with strength and dignity, qualities embodied by notable historical figures like Claudia Octavia, the wife of Emperor Nero. While less common in English-speaking countries, Klaudia represents a meaningful connection to Eastern European heritage for many families.
