- gen. a; dat. um; pl. m. I. the Jutes, the ancient inhabitants of Jutland, who, with the Angles and Saxons, colonized Britain; Jutæ, pŏpŭlus Chersŏnēsi Cymbrĭcæ, qui relicta patria ūna cum Saxŏnĭbus Anglisque Britanniam occupāvērunt. Though the Jutes are now regarded as Danes, they were, in the earliest times, distinguished as a separate people, and were probably the descendants of earlier Gothic settlers in Jutland, while the Danes = Dene, were an invading nation. Thus Hengest was a Jute, and Healfdene, his lord, a Dane. The Eótenas = Jötnar, were apparently a still earlier Finnish race, from whom the Gothic conquerors probably derived their trolls and giants. Both Jóti; pl. Jótar, and iötunn; pl. iötnar, are rendered in A. Sax. by eóten; pl. eótenas. From the Ynglinga-Saga, c. 5, we learn that before the time of Skiold, the seat of the Danish kings was in Reitgothland = Jutland, but Skiold transferred it to Lethra in Seeland, of which he was the founder :-- Cómon hí of þrím folcum ðám strangestan Germanie, ðæt [is,] of Seaxum, and of Angle, and of Geátum.

II. the GAUTS, the inhabitants of the south of Sweden, which in ancient times comprehended nearly the whole of South-Sweden = A. Sax. Geát-land, Icel. Gautland the land of the Gauts, which must be distinguished from Icel. Gotar, and A. Sax. Gotland the land of the Goths, q. v; Gauti in Suecia = Γαυτοί, Procopius Bell. Goth. 2, 15 :-- We synt gumcynnes Geáta leóde we are of the race of the Gauts' nation, Beo. Th. 526; B. 260 : 730; B. 362.
