Ok, I'm Mediterranean. Take it easy. With some drops of Gothic
blood and vocabulary. Very useful post. And mainly it's true, in
fact, I had heard something like that but I had almost forgot it.
And yes, I'm dark brown haired ( a bit blond when 2-3 years old)
and brown eyes.

About the noses... Many french people has long noses and convex, like
arabs.
In fact, I think Germanic people tend to have long noses.

Ok, to retake the topic:
do you know that "ganar" (to win) and "guardar" ( to guard) are
from gothic?

wana --> ambition

guante --> gauntlet

Sometimes, I doubt if the word comes from Frankish or from Gothic.

And about surnames:
Gotor, Ordoñez.

Is there that book ?

About Ostrogoth, yes they had strong relationships with Visigoths,
even migrations, mainly when Visigoths still rule Tolosa kingdom.

And, I read in the Enclopedia that Visigoths were in the west side
of Dnieper river and Ostrogoths in the east.

I've reread a bit of "Poema de Mio Cid" (btw, Cid comes from arab
El-sidi-> the master) looking after gothic constructions/words.

guisar (modern ) --> cook, prepare something
yantar ? --> eat
robar (well, this is fully modern ) --> to rob
zaga ? (in football, defense line)  --> rearguard
lidiar ? (appliable to bullfighting ) --> fight
vasallo --> servant
galardon (modern too)--> prize , gif, I think that it comes from gualardon
barragan ? --> guy
guarnicion ? (modern too) --> garrison, troops in charge of something
guarnecer
