History and Origin
Gauti, Gautr, Guti, Gothus and Gautas are forms derived from the same Proto-Germanic root. The word Gapt is generally regarded as a corruption of Gaut.
Gautr is one of the names of the supreme god of the Norse pantheon, Odin and whose eponym has ancestral reflections among the Germanic peoples. It is the same case of Yngvi and the Ingaevones. Several Germanic tribes receive their nickname of the same name, such as the gautar (gauta, gutans or Goths) and gutes (Gotlandese, inhabitants of the island of Gotland).
The gaut, Goth and Gutian names are intimately related. Gauta is originally Proto-Germanic, while Goths and Gutts come from the Germanic *Gutaniz. According to linguist Andersson (1996), *gautoz and *gutaniz are two forms of the Proto-Germanic ablative meaning "to go" (modern Swedish: gjuta, modern Danish: gyde, modern German: giessen, English: in-got) to designate tribes as "metal bearers" or "forgers of men".
An alternative form, Gauti, is imputed to one of the sons of Odin, founder of Götaland. The same name is given to the Gauta king of Västergötland, recurring in Scandinavian medieval sagas and literature, father of Gautrek.
Some versions of the Wessex royal line add names above Woden, supposedly proclaiming ancestry, although the names are usually added in genealogy, at some point in history, suggesting that the origin of the lineage might be gauta. The chronicler Asser, in his work Life of King Alfred (893), cites that the pagans worshipped Gauti as if he were a god, but in Historia Brittonum appears as the son of that god. In Old Norse it is a very common nickname for Odin.
The historian Jordanes in De origine actibusque Getarum, traces the lineage of the Amelungens to Humul, son of Gapt, presumably the first hero to appear in some writings. Many historians believe that Gapt is a mistake, and that the origin is Gaut or Gauti. Nennius claims that a Gothus was the ancestor of the Goths. Jordanes himself mentions Tomyris as queen of the Gauts, possibly referring to the Dacians. Tomyris was, according to Herodotus, a queen of the Masagetes, a tribe of Iran.
According to the Gutasaga Hafdi (Old Norse: Hafþi) he was the son of the warlord Þjálfi, discoverer of the island of Gotland and one of his sons was called Gauti, ancestor of the Gauts.
