  Geat information - Search.com
Geatas (Gautar in Old Norse, Götar in Swedish) is the Old English spelling of the name of the Geats, a North Germanic tribe historically associated with Götaland ("land of the Geats") in modern Sweden.
The generally accepted identification between the Götar and Gautar as the Geatas of Beowulf is mainly based on the observation that the Ö monophthong of modern Swedish and the AU diphthong of Old Norse correspond to the EA diphthong of Old English.
It is also based on the fact that in Beowulf, the Geatas live east of the Dene (across the sea) and in close contact with the Sweon, which fits the historical position of the Gautar between the Daner and the Svear.

They include many particulars of what purports to be the history of the royal houses, not only of the Gautar and the Danes, but also of the Swedes, the continental Angles, the Ostrogoths, the Frisians and the Heathobeards, besides references to matters of unlocalized heroic story such as the exploits of Sigismund.
It was borne by one of the 'early settlers in Iceland, and a monk named Biuulf is commemorated in the Liber Vitae of the church of Durham.
And even after this event, whatever may have been the attitude of churchmen towards the old heathen poetry, the kings and warriors would be slow to lose their interest in the heroic tales that had delighted their ancestors.

 BEOWULF - Online Information article about BEOWULF
Story.—The following is a brief outline of the story, which naturally divides itself into five parts.
It is true that the invading king is said in the histories to have been a Dane, whereas the Hygelac of Beowulf belonged to the "Geatas" or Gautar.
There are other points of contact between Beowulf oh the one hand and the Scandinavian records on the other, confirming the conclusion that the Old English poem contains much of the historical tradition of the Gautar, the Danes and the Swedes, in its purest accessible form.

 Geats
The general identification of the Geatas of Beowulf as the Gautar/Götar of southern Sweden is usually based on the observation that the EA diphthong of the Anglo-Saxon language was the equivalent of the AU diphthong of Old Norse and the Ö monophthong of modern Swedish.
Even if the identification made in this article may seem to be generally accepted or to be the simplest one, the matter is not dead and it will continue to raise harsh feelings even in the future—especially in Sweden, where the debate about Sweden's history prior to the 11th century is infected.

There is however a trick to this, and that is that two words derived from different parts of the ablaut series of a verb, do not always have the same meaning.
But it might be a good idea to bring this to the reader's attention, since the reader might otherwise be inclined to draw that conclusion.

It also follows the generally accepted identification between the names Götar (modern Swedish), Gautar (Old Norse) and Geatas (Old English), which is based both on tradition, literary sources and on etymology.
However, unlike some translations[1] it does not identify this tribe with the Goths, since the Goths were far away from Scandinavia, when these kings are said to have lived.

The culture was the same and the Geats and Goths did seem to originate from the same area which would make them a related people at the very least.
