What is "laudaricus"

Laudaricus was a prominent Hunnic chieftain. The Chronica Gallica of 511 under the year 451 noted him as Attila's blood relative , who died at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in 451 AD.

M. Schönfeld considered the name to be of Germanic origin, *Lauda reiks (Lauda king). Omeljan Pritsak proposed possible Gothicization and correction of the name by the chronicler from Turkic *Valda > Velda (< *Belda > Bleda).
