Etymology
Claude is a French given name derived from the Roman emperor Claudius. In view of the evident reference to Shakespearean King Lear of a majority of the Golden Deer, his name may have derived from King Claudius in Hamlet, the primary antagonist of the tragedy. It may also be a reference to Claudio Ranieri, former manager of Leicester City F.C. during a famous underdog English Premiership win. Regan is a name likely derived from ancient Gaelic and means "little king."

Trivia

 * Claude is one of the few Lords in the Fire Emblem series to not feature the color blue either in his hair or his clothes along with Edelgard from Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Celica from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia/Fire Emblem Gaiden. That being said, Edelgard does wear blue following the timeskip while Claude does not.
