Meaning & origin
Claudie is a French feminine form of Claude, with roots in the Latin Claudius. The name's meaning, 'lame,' derives from the Roman clan name, but in modern use it is simply a classic name. First recorded in the United States in 1880, Claudie saw its peak in 1900, after which it declined sharply. The trajectory has been stable at very low usage for decades, and it does not appear in the top 1000 in any recent year. Its top states are empty in the data, reflecting its rarity. Claudie remains a subtle, underused choice for parents seeking a French-inflected name with historical depth.
Claudie is the French feminine form of Claude, which derives from the Latin Claudius, a Roman family name meaning 'lame' or 'crippled.' The name has been used in France since the Middle Ages, often in honor of Saint Claude. In English-speaking countries, it saw modest use in the early 20th century as a feminine variant of Claude.
