		Geatas was originally Proto-Germanic Gautoz and Goths and Gutar were Gutaniz.
		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.

		There is also no evidence that the Geatas of Beowulf have anything to do with present-day Swedish territory, and the place-names mentioned involving "Göta-" (Göteborg, Göta älv, Östergötland, Västergötland) are iirc all much more recent than unified Sweden.
		The names are cognate; Geatas and Götar are the expected outcomes in Old English and East Norse of PGmc *gauta-.
		The latest Swedish translation of Beowulf does indeed not translate Geatas with Götar, but preserves the original word (despite the new foreword making the expressly wishful assumption that the hero's origin could/should be in Västergötland).

	Geat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 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.
		These hypotheses have been suggested in spite of the fact that, in both Beowulf and Widsith, the Geats are clearly distinguished from both Jutes Eótenas (or Ytum) and Danes.

		The subject of the poem is the exploits of Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow and nephew of Hygelac, king of the " Geatas," i.e.
		The forms of the Danish king's name given by the Frankish historians are corruptions of the name of which the primitive Germanic form was Hugilaikaz, and which by regular phonetic change became in Old English Hygelac, and in Old Norse Hugleikr.
		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.

		Geatas is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		As the dominions of the Swedish kings grew, the name was applied also to include the Geats during the Middle Ages, but later it returned to referring only the people inhabiting the original tribal lands in Svealand, in opposition to the Geats.
		Only three gods, Thor, Baldur, and Váli/Bous, are explicitly identified as sons of Odin in the Eddic poems, in the skaldic poems, in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum, and in the Gylfaginning section of Snorri Sturluson's Edda.

		However, in Sweden, where the general opinion is that the Goths did not come from Sweden, this is attributed to an economic change, and the linguistic and material similarities are generally attributed to contacts.
		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 sound in modern Swedish.
		Thus, the expected form of Old Norse Gautar and modern Swedish Götar is the Old English Geatas and modern English Geats.

		The Geatas laid their shields against the wall of the palace, and they piled their ashen spears together in a sheaf.
		The chieftain of the Geatas arose and followed Wulfgar into the presence of the king of the Danes.
		The Geatas awoke from their slumber; they drew their swords and hastened to the help of their lord, but no steel, however sharp, could pierce the hide of Grendel.

	Beowulf - History Forum
		Beowulf is interesting from a Swedish perspective because it confirms the existance of three legendary 6th century kings from the Ynglinga dynasty, who are also known from another independent source.
		The fighting between the Svear and the Geatas (probobly Goths or Jutes) are also believed to be based on historic facts.
		One theory is that the Geatas were the people who lived on the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea.
