Etymology
Traditionally said to be from la claudus lame, limping, crippled, however, family history relates that the name was adopted as the Romanized form of an earlier Clausus, the Latin spelling of an original Sabine name. A la sbv - word cognate with la clausus shut, closed, perfect passive participle of la claudō to shut, close seems a more probable origin.
