MEANING & HISTORY
What does Claudio mean?
Claudio is the Spanish and Italian form of Latin Claudius. The Roman family name is traditionally associated with claudus, lame.
The final o reflects the Romance-language form rather than another root meaning. Claudio and Claudia belong to the same family. The inherited descriptive word should not be used to infer a bearer’s health or abilities.
