In Irish mythology, Nuada, known by the epithet Airgetlám meaning "silver hand/arm"), was the first king of the Tuatha Dé Danann. He is mostly known from the tale in which he loses his arm or hand in battle, and thus his kingship, but regains it after being magically healed. Nuada meaning to acquire through hunting, was the first king of the Tuatha Dé Danann and was considered a honest and judicious ruler. -Wikipedia
