""Claudius" is at origin the name of a Roman emperor who reigned 10 AD - 54 AD. As Wikipedia says, "he was reportedly afflicted with some type of disability", and that disability could have been him limping. The pure Latin form is "Claudius", and the Transylvanians of Romanian origin took it as such from Latin texts from their children, as they did not want their latter's names be arranged in any way by the administrators of the day. This could have been done very well with any New Testament name, and this is the reason they were avoided. By this mecvhanism, many other purely Latin names become usual in the XIX and XX centuries Transylvania: Trajan, Domitian, Aurelian, Romulus and even Remus."
