Meaning & History

Scerdilaidas (ruled 218 – 206 BC) was an Illyrian ruler of the Illyrian kingdom under the Labeatan dynasty. He was the grandfather of Gentius. The name itself is of uncertain origin and meaning; theories include a derivation from Albanian herdhe "nest; herd", ultimately from Proto-Albanian *skarda- "herd" and Proto-Albanian *laida "to leave, to die, to lead", thus meaning something like "herd or flock leader".
