Mashda of Kish was the eleventh Sumerian king in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to the Sumerian king list. He was a son of the king Atab. [1] Like the other members of the First dynasty prior to Etana, he was named for an animal; his name "Mashda" is Akkadian for "gazelle". [2] Mashda is unlikely to have existed as his name does not appear on texts dating from the period in which he was presumed to have lived ( Early Dynastic period). [3]
