Drift from the Claudius name already in use in Latin, and connected to the Latin adjective claudius or from the correspondent oscus or Sabine Clausus: in any case the meaning is “lame, crippled”. Claudius was the name of great personages in roman age, like the censor and consul Appio Claudio Cieco, which in the IV-III century a.C constructed the first aqueduct, or like the emperor Tiberio Claudio Germanico, successor of Caligola in the 41 A.D.
