War-God and Smith of the Gods

Hungarian ⟨Hadúr⟩, from had 'army/war' + úr 'lord' (full Hadak Ura). The name is partly a 19th-century literary reconstruction (Ipolyi, and the poets Vörösmarty/Arany); the underlying war-god and smith-of-the-gods concept and the Sword-of-God legend are older. Damasek is an alternative/regional name sometimes paired with this figure; both are flagged as reconstructions.
