About the name Claudinei
Behind the Name describes Claudinei as an elaborated form of Cláudio, and the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil analyzes the formation as Claudi- + -nei. The Morfemário of the same dictionary gives -nei/-ney as coming from French Ney, which would be a variant of German neu, 'new', and lists Claudiney among the Brazilian names with this ending. Cláudio comes from Latin Claudius, a Roman family name that Behind the Name links only 'possibly' to claudus, 'lame', and so the meaning of the name is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 67,181 people named Claudinei, with a peak among those born in the 1970s. Proportionally, the name is most common in Paraná.
