Goti
nafnorðkarlkyn
a, , Gotnar, the Goths; hence Gotland, Gotland; Gotneskr, Gothic, ; Gota-veldi, the Gothic empire, (of the island Gotland, 1319.) The name of the Goths with compds occurs in history, in Sagas referring to the mythical age; and distinction is made between Ey-Gotar, the Island-Goths, the inhabitants of the Danish Isles, and Reið-Gotar or Hreð-Gotar in the south of Sweden. According to Jornandes and the late Norwegian historian P. A. Munch, a race of Gothic origin, speaking a dialect closely akin to that of Ulfilas, lived in parts of Scandinavia during the 3rd and 4th centuries of our era; Munch even supposes that Ermanarik (Jörmunrekr) was a Scandinavian-Gothic king, and lived in the 4th century, and that the Runic monuments on the Golden horn, the stone in Tune, the Bracteats, , are of this and the subsequent period; on this interesting question see Munch’s Norske Folk’s Hist., vol. i, and several essays by the same.
