Claudio

Origen y significado de Claudio

Claudio comes from the Latin Claudius, the name of the important gens Claudia, perhaps linked to the adjective claudus, 'lame.' Its meaning thus points to belonging to that illustrious Roman family. Very common in Italy, Spain and Latin America, it has forms such as Claude in French. It was borne by emperors and by great musicians, such as Claudio Monteverdi. With its elegant, harmonious sound, it evokes culture, sensitivity and classicism — a refined, ever-current name uniting Latin tradition and artistic vocation.
