Ok, a hard question, we have :
Gutierrez, Gautier, Gaultier, Gaut, Celt, Gall(us), Gaupt, Gotor,
Goths.
I see a patter here :
First letter : G or C
then (o-u-e, but always a closed sound).
then an optional l or p
then t , always.
Is this a hallucination? Is the same stuff sung different voices ?
At least, it's very suspicious.
More hallucinations:
Hellens <--- Chellens ( like a german ch) <-- kellens <-- keltens
Were the sons of Hellen the sons of a military governor?
Are hellens the gupta under another voice ?
I don't know, it's very suspicious.
Were this structure :
(weak) king + local military governors + bare soldier
the key of success of Celts, Greeks and Germanic people invasions?
Is the name of that people the name of their social structure ?
Was the name of a god ?
Arabs doesn't name themselves Allahies .
Jews doesn't name themselves Yehovies.
Tibetans doesn't name themsevels Buddies.
....
So the word "Goth" is either a symbol of their society or
an attribution ( brave, fearless, ...) or ... what ?
More still:
I read:
"""
<ceatharn>, a troop, so Ir., E.Ir. [ceithern], [*keterna^]; Lat. [cate
rua],
troop, [cate^na], a chain; O.Sl. [ceta], company (Stokes). It
has also been regarded as borrowed from Lat. [quaternio],
which in the Vulg. means a "body of four soldiers", quaternion.
Hence Eng. [cateran], [kern].

Again, this may suggest a original military structure.
Ok, that's enough for today.
