Etymology 2

Swedish Wikipedia has an article on:

Götar

Wikipedia ^sv

From Old Swedish gø̄tar, Old Norse gautar, from Proto-Germanic *gautaz. Further related to English Geat.

The people mentioned as geatas in Beowulf, gautar in Icelandic sagas, gutones by Pliny, and gotones by Tacitus, have the problem that three different areas of Scandinavia have similar names: Jutland, Götaland and Gotland. Add the Goths to this, and it must remain uncertain if these foreign authors knew which group they were referring to. Many etymologies have been proposed, including at least two with links to that same verb. The fact that the Geats remain semi-mythical doesn't stop the word from spawning, e.g. the city Göteborg founded in 1621 and Götiska förbundet (Geatish Society) in the 1811.

Noun

göt c

1. a Geat person, a member of the Geats, a people allegedly having lived in Scandinavia, inhabitants of Götaland c
2. a follower of the Geatish Society and its ideas of göticism
