Possible meaning in the sources
Reported meaningPossible meaning: “lame”
English Wiktionary documents Klaudijus as a Lithuanian given name connected with Latin Claudius. The “lame” interpretation belongs to the traditional claudus explanation of the older Roman name. Its Latin entry also discusses a possible Sabine origin related to a word meaning “shut, closed”. These are competing etymological accounts, so the retained gloss is a proposal rather than a settled translation of Klaudijus.
