MEANING & HISTORY
What does Claudine mean?
Claudine is a French feminine form of Claude, from Latin Claudius. Claudius is a Roman family name traditionally associated with claudus, lame.
That physical word belongs to ancient naming history rather than a description of a present-day person. The French diminutive ending explains Claudine’s shape and links it genuinely with Claudia.
