Claudette is the French feminine diminutive of Claude, which originates from the Roman family name Claudius. While the literal meaning refers to a physical impairment, the name has long been associated with Roman nobility and French elegance. It gained significant popularity in the mid-20th century but remains a rare, vintage choice today.
