Lud Ludim 
Lud is a son of Shem, son of Noah. The Ludim are descendants of Mizraim, son of Ham, son of Noah.
The word (lwd) does not occur in Hebrew. BDB and NOBSE do not translate. Jones derives from (luz 1090) meaning to turn aside, depart, and reads Bending, but fails to explain the letter daleth.
Perhaps the name Lud has something to do with the verb (yalad 867) means beget, bring forth, with obvious derivative (walad 867a), child, and (yillod 867d), born. But the yod with which the verb begins is strong and can't be left out without an explanation.
The name Lud is one of the very few names that have absolutely no meaning in Hebrew.
