About the name Claudina

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) records Claudina as the feminine of Claudino, a name that Machado (1981) derives from the French Claudin. Behind the Name describes Claudina as a Spanish diminutive of Claudia, the feminine form of Claudius. Wiktionary states that Claudius is traditionally linked to Latin claudus, 'lame', but considers a Sabine origin more likely, so the sense of the root is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,112 people named Claudina, with a median age of 58, almost all born before 2000.
