Ulaid, Ulaidh, Ulad (gen.). A people of early Ireland who gave their name to the province of Ulster although they usually dominated only the eastern portion, with a capital at Emain Macha; at various periods their hegemony extended as far south as the Boyne and as far west as Co. Leitrim. Their power declined after the 5th century AD. The Ulaid called themselves Clanna Rudraige, a name thought to contain the particle ruad-[red].
