Hi Fredrik,

Maybe you're thinking of Francisc's post 1223.  I'm not really sure 
how best to Gothicise 'Sweden'.  Unfortunately Hellquist's Ordbok is 
offline at the moment due to computer problems at Lysator.  
For 'Swede' "a native of Sweden" the Oxford English Dictionary has:

[a. MLG., MDu. Swede (mod. Zweed), = HG. Schwede native of SWEDEN, 
q.v. 
  The OE. name was Swéon (pl.), in ON. Svíar (Sw. Svear), whence L. 
Suiones (see SUIOGOTHIC), med.L. Swei; also OE. Swéoþéod (Swáþéod in 
the Peterborough Chron. an. 1025), ON. Svíþjóð (= lit. Swede-
people), whence, it has been conjectured, arose the forms from which 
Swede and Sweden are derived. 
  The med.L. forms for the name of the country are Suecia (whence 
It. Svezia, Sp., Pg. Svecia), Suedia, and Sueonia; for the adj. of 
nationality Suecus (whence Sp., Pg. Sueco), Suecicus, and Suedus.]
