 '''Claude'''. English and French. Traditionally, this has been a masculine name. In France, this became popular as a neutral name since 1900, spiking in the 1930s, and then becoming rare for any gender after the 1970s. In the US, this has been a strictly masculine name since 1900, though it had some feminine use in the 1880s. Claude comes from the ancient Roman name, Claudius, possibly meaning "disabled legs." There were several saints named Claudius, and there was a male Saint Claude (b. 603 CE), whose feast day is June 7.<ref>https://www.behindthename.com/name/claude [https://web.archive.org/web/20230529023339/https://www.behindthename.com/name/claude Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref><ref>https://www.behindthename.com/name/claudius [https://web.archive.org/web/20230319235555/https://www.behindthename.com/name/claudius Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref><ref>http://www.catholic-saints.info/roman-catholic-saints-a-g/saint-claude.htm [https://web.archive.org/web/20211127224628/https://www.catholic-saints.info/roman-catholic-saints-a-g/saint-claude.htm Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> Keywords: Edwardian era, one syllable, saint name.
