Gotlander
The Gutes or the Gotlanders (in Swedish ''gutar'') are the population of the island of Gotland. The ethnonym is related to that of the ''Goths'' (''Gutans''), and both names were originally Proto-Germanic
*''Gutaniz''. Their language is called ''Gutnish'' (''gutniska'').〔( Snöbohm, Alfred Theodor ''Gotlands land och folk'' (1871) )〕
==Early history==
The oldest history of the Gutes is retold in the ''Gutasaga''. According to legend they descended from a man named Þjelvar who was the first to discover Gotland. Þjelvar had a son named Hafþi who wedded a fair maiden named Hvitastjerna. These two were the first to settle on Gotland. Hafþi and Hvitastjerna later had three children, Guti, Graipr and Gunfjaun. After the death of their parents, the brothers divided Gotland into three parts and each took one, but Guti remained the highest chieftain and gave his name to the land and its people.〔Guta Lagh med Gutasagan, Tore Gannholm, p 98-99〕
In Modern Swedish language, there are two words for the inhabitants on Gotland: ''gotlänning'' (''Gotlander)'' and ''gute''. All inhabitants of Gotland, regardless of their ethnicity, are ''gotlänning'' (pl. ''gotlänningar'' -''Gotlandians'') but one is called ''gute'' (pl. ''gutar'' - ''Gutes'') if one is of native descent.
