[gothic-l] Goths and Jutes

[sunnytjatsingh]

Hi Guys, please I would like your views on Goths and Jutes, and 
possible Getae.  Any truth to these statements below:

According to the 1670 work De Anglorum Gentis Origine Disceptatio:

Those people are called Gutae in the laws of Edward the Confessor, 
and Geatuni in the Annales Petroburgenses; by others they are called 
Jotuni and Jetae; by the Danish writers, Jutae and Juitae; for these 
are one and the same name: Getae and Giotae, and Gutae, and Geatuni, 
and Jotuni, and Jetae, and Jutae, and Juitae (Kliger 1952: 17-18).

In his Origin of the Anglo-Saxon Race, Shore writes about the Jutes:

In early records relating to Germany and the North they appear to 
have been called by many names – Vitungi or Juthungi, Jutae, Gaetas, 
Gothi, Gothini, Gythones, Guthones, Gutae, Gautae, Vitae, and Gaeta 
(Shore 1906: 49). 

Shore continues, "Of these Jutes, the Goths were probably the more 
numerous, seeing that the name adopted from the Kentish people 
generally was a modified form of Gutae, a name for their own race 
(Shore 1906: 191)."

Best Wishes.
