Gewisse
The Gewisse (Old English; Latin: ''Geuissæ'') was a tribe or clan of Anglo-Saxon England, based in the upper Thames region around Dorchester on Thames. == Etymology == The name of the tribe may be derived from an Old English word for "reliable" or "sure",〔 (cf. German ''gewiss'' = "certain, sure"). The ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' presents an eponymous ancestor figure, named ''Giwis''. Eilert Ekwall proposed that the similarity in toponymy between the kingdoms of the Gewisse and Hwicce suggests a common origin. An alternative etymology is a Brythonic origin from the word ''gwys'' to call or summon, in the form of "Y Gwysir" the summoned.
