Uldin

thumb|Detail of the Hun king in Caravaggio's The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula, 1610 Uldin, also spelled Huldin (died before 412), is the first Hunnic ruler whose historicity is undisputed.

==Etymology== The name is recorded as Ουλδης (Ouldes) by Sozomen, Uldin by Orosius, and Huldin by Marcellinus Comes. On the basis of the Latin variants, Omeljan Pritsak and Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen argue that the name ended on -n, not the Greek suffix -s. Hyun Jin Kim, however, argues that -in is a Greek suffix added to the name.
