DescriptionThe origin of the Kidarites is at this time obscure. The most popular theory is that they were an amalgam of Scythians and Hephthalites. The Kushan kingdom seems to have evolved into the Kidarite kingdom as new ethnic groups became dominant. Mitchiner tells a story of a guy, Kidara, who was a Kushan usurper. Wikipedia claims that the Kidarites were nomads of uncertain ethnicity.
