Lud 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.
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.
