However, the name has evolved over time and is now generally associated with a more positive meaning:
* "Crippled": This meaning was originally derived from the Latin word "claudus," meaning "lame."
* "Strong, determined": This meaning is a more modern interpretation of the name, possibly derived from the image of a person overcoming adversity, like a limp.
While the original meaning might sound negative, Claudia is now a popular name with a strong and confident connotation.
