Goths, Visigoths and Ostrogoths.

[Michael Erwin]

A 10th-century Greek list of 4th-century Gothic martyrs (see Heather  
& Matthews 118-119) includes (Gothic spellings unknown):

"of women: Anna, Alas, Baren, Moiko, Kamika, Oneko and Anemais." also  
"Gaatha" and "Doulkilla" from the same source.

Jordanes includes some 6th-century names - Amalasuin(th)a and Matasuin 
(th)a being the most  famous.

The modern Spanish name Ximena may come from the Gothic.
