Klavdiya is Latin in Origin.

Klavdiya (Клавдия) is the East Slavic form of Claudia, ultimately from the Roman family name Claudius. The etymology is commonly linked to Latin claudus, “limping” or “lame,” though some scholars point to a Sabine origin; popular etymology also connects it with claudere, “to close.” As with many ancient names, modern usage treats the meaning symbolically rather than literally.

Carried by members of the powerful Claudian gens and borne by early Christians (including a New Testament Claudia), the name spread through Christian tradition and the Orthodox world; it was familiar across the Russian Empire and remained well used through the mid‑20th century, now read as vintage. Diminutives include Klava and Klavochka; variant transliterations are Klavdia and Klavdiia. International forms: Claudia (English, Italian, Spanish, German), Klaudia (Polish, Slovak, German), Klaudija (Baltic and South Slavic), Claudine and Claudette (French). Related masculine forms are Klavdiy and Claudius.
