I'm not sure but I'd suggest *thiudani F.-jo (Gen. *thiudanjos) as a 
wife of a thiudans. For a "ruling queen" there could probably be 
used a participle-based *thiudanondi F.-jo (like attested frijondi). 
I didn't hear the migrating Goths had ruling queens, but they say 
the Sarmatians were a rather matriarchal people 
(GYNAIKOKRATOUMENOI "ruled by women"). As the Goths dealt in both 
peaceful and military way with the Sarmatians, they would have 
needed a word for a "she-ruler". And you'd need it today to refer 
to, say, the Queen of England. For which *Thiudanondi Agglilandis 
can probably be an option.
