Remnants of Gothic communities in Crimea, known as the Crimean Goths, established a culture that survived for more than a thousand years, [5] although Goths would eventually cease to exist as a distinct people.

[8] It might also have been a conflation of the word Gauti with a gloss of Goths. [9] In the 17th century the name Göta älv, 'River of the Geats', replaced the earlier names Götälven and ...
In contrast, the name of the other Gothic people known from this period, the Greuthungi, may mean "steppe-people", with an etymology connected to a word for sand or gravel. Both names are only found from the 3rd century until the late 4th or early 5th. [4] (After these times, Gothic peoples are recording with new names, most notably the ...
