語源

From 中期英語 Gothes, Gotes (both plural). In turn partly from 古期英語 Gotan, singular Gota, and partly from Late Latin Gothi. The expected term from 古期英語 alone would be "goat", see 古期英語 "flota" -> Modern English "float". The modern form is almost certainly then a wholesale loan of the Latin term rather than partly native. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *gutô, perhaps from *geutaną (“to pour”). Compare Old Norse Goti (“Gotlander, Goth”), and related also to Gutnish, Gotland.
