Meaning & origin
Claudis is a rare masculine name with Latin roots, likely a variant of the Roman family name Claudius. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1914, with its peak usage that same year. Since then, it has remained extremely uncommon, with no recent rank or frequency data available. The name has never been associated with any particular state or region. Its stable trajectory suggests a very low but consistent level of use, primarily by families seeking an uncommon classic name. For parents drawn to ancient Roman names but wanting something distinctive, Claudis offers a unique alternative to more common forms like Claude or Claudius.
Claudis is likely a variant of Claudius, a Roman family name derived from the Latin 'claudus' meaning 'lame' or 'limping'. The name Claudius was borne by several Roman emperors and has been used in various forms throughout Europe. Its use in the United States appears limited, with records beginning in the early 20th century.
