𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰

Gothic

Etymology

From *𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌰 (*guta, “Goth”) +‎ 𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 (þiuda, “people”).

Proper noun

𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 • (gutþiuda) f

the Goths
- Gothic Calendar, October 29:
  [...] 𐌰𐌽𐌰 𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰𐌹 𐌲𐌰𐌱𐍂𐌰𐌽𐌽𐌹𐌳𐌰𐌹
  [...] ana gutþiudai gabrannidai
  [...] were burnt among the Gothic people.

Usage notes

There is not much proof - despite what is sometimes asserted - that this was a common Gothic autonym at any time during their history, at least not before the 6th century in Ostrogothic Italy where the single document where this word is attested (referring apparently to a 4th-century martyrdom in Gothia) was produced.
