- For other uses of the name Lud, see Lud
Lud (לוּד) was a Shemite grandson of Noah. Lud should not be confused with Ludim descended from Mizraim. The descendants of Lud are said by some to have spread to areas of the far-east beyond Elam (possibly to be identified with the Lullubi).
However, others, following Josephus, would draw a strong connection with various Anatolian peoples, including Lydia (Assyrian Luddu); cf. geographic references to the 'Mountains of Lud' (Anatolia) in the Book of Jubilees.
Some Assyrian and Biblical sources suggest that some tribes with the name Lud in Hebrew or Lubdu in Assyrian, inhabited certain parts of western Media and Atropatene[1].
