The Onomastics of the Gothic language (Gothic personal names) are an important source not only for the history of the Goths themselves, but for Germanic onomastics in general and the linguistic and cultural history of the Germanic Heroic Age of c. the 3rd to 6th centuries. Gothic names can be found in Roman records as far back as the 4th ...
The Gothic language is the Germanic language with the earliest attestation (the 4th century), [215] [171] and the only East Germanic language documented in more than proper names, short phrases that survived in historical accounts, and loan-words in other languages, making it a language of great interest in comparative linguistics.

The meaning of the name ƕair was probably "cauldron, pot" [1] (cf. ƕairnei "skull"); [2] comparative reconstruction shows *kʷer- (“a kind of dish or pot”) in Proto-Indo-European.
