Claudia
Girl name · 494 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Claudia: 494 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 19 births in 1997.
Claudia stems from the Latin “claudus,” meaning “lame” or “crippled,” though the name was a prestigious feminine form of the Roman family name Claudius. It entered wide use across Europe partly through the early Christian Saint Claudia, mentioned in the New Testament. Modern famous bearers include Italian film icon Claudia Cardinale, German supermodel Claudia Schiffer, and British TV presenter Claudia Winkleman. While no major place is named directly after a Claudia, the Roman root survives in the ancient city of Claud
