I agree with Mashka that the spelling is probably the same (
Claudia) but the pronunciation is different in different areas. I prefer the CLAW-dee-ah prn. The CLOUD-ee-ah one sounds odd to me; makes me think of something cloudy (and I'm a nurse, so we describe sputum and urine as "cloudy" :-/). I like
Claudia, but I'm not crazy about the meaning, either.
