When the Jutish kingdom of Kent was founded, around the middle of the 5th century, Roman ways and influences must have still had a strong presence. The Roman settlement of Durovernum Cantiacorum became Canterbury. The people of Kent were described as Cantawara, a Germanised form of the Latin Cantiaci. [34]
There is an academic theory that the Gothic tribe is connected to British migration through the so-called "Jutish Hypothesis", which would explain why I-L1237 is so strongly associated both with British migration and with Gothic migration patterns.

The term Wihtware translates from Old English as "the people of the Isle of Wight", with the suffix -ware denoting a people group, as in Cantware ("the people of Kent"). [1] [2] [3] In the Old English translation of Bede's work, the term Wihtsætan is used instead, possibly as it was the more common name by which the group was known at the time of writing.
