This Croat-Gothic connection is recorded and supported by the writings of one Thomas the Archdeacon, Historia Salonitana from the 13th century.

The chronicle of Ivan Lučić Lucius gives an account of the arrival of the Croats where he wrote ...."The people called Croats…Many call them Goths, and likewise Slavs......". The Chronicle of Dioclea speaks of a Gothic invasion (under a leader referred to as "Svevlad", followed by his descendants "Selimir" and "Ostroilo") "Totila" arrived in Dalmatia on his way to Italy around the year 540. (This supports the earlier references to the Goths after traveling west from the Black sea being largely composed of Slavs, and in this instance would support Croat presence in Dalmatia before the 2nd migration about 60 years later) Esta conexión croata-gótica se graba y se apoya en los escritos de un tal Thomas Arcediano, Historia Salonitana del siglo 13.

Transcript of This Croat
This Croat-Gothic connection is recorded and supported by the writings of one Thomas the Archdeacon, Historia Salonitana from the 13th century. Archdeacon Thomas, as well as the Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja from the 12th century, state that the Croats remained after the Goths (under a leader referred to as "Totila") had occupied and pillaged the Roman province of Dalmatia. The chronicle of Ivan Lučić Lucius gives an account of the arrival of the Croats where he wrote ...."The people called Croats…Many call them Goths, and likewise Slavs......". The Chronicle of Dioclea speaks of a Gothic invasion (under a leader referred to as "Svevlad", followed by his descendants "Selimir" and "Ostroilo") "Totila" arrived in Dalmatia on his way to Italy around the year 540. (This supports the earlier references to the Goths after traveling west from the Black sea being largely composed of Slavs, and in this instance would support Croat presence in Dalmatia before the 2nd migration about 60 years later)

The name of Croatia derives from Medieval Latin Croātia, from Dux Croatorum ("Duke of Croatians") attested in the Branimir Inscription, itself a derivation of North-West Slavic *Xrovat-, by liquid metathesis from proposed Common Slavic *Xorvat-, from proposed Proto-Slavic *Xarwāt- (*Xъrvatъ) or *Xŭrvatŭ (*xъrvatъ). The origin of the name is uncertain, but is thought to be a Gothic term of a Slavic tribe, from well before the time of the territory of Oium being ruled by Filimer (related to Muncimir? Branimir? Trpimir? Krešimir...ect) The oldest preserved record of the Croatian ethnonym *xъrvatъ is of variable stem, attested in the Baška tablet in style zvъnъmirъ kralъ xrъvatъskъ ("Zvonimir, Croatian king").
Other ancient names from Hervarar saga include Gotþjóð (=Go.Gutþiuda, attested in the Calender fragment), Húnaland "the land ofthe Huns", Reiðgotaland "land of the (H)reið-Goths", and Harvaðafjöll "the Carpathian mountains" (showing the influence of theGermanic consonant shift, Grimm's Law), and of courseMyrkviðr "Mirkwood", which would give Gothic *Maírqiwidus.
Albanian "karpë" and the Bulgarian dialectal "karpa", bothmeaning "stone, rock") suffered the first Germanic sound shift:*karpat- > Gothic *harbada- or *harbatha- (with -b- pronounced like abilabial -v-) > Old Norse Harvada. It is also possible that the soundshift occurred not in Gothic, but in some other East Germaniclanguage, spoken by a Germanic tribe who preceded the Goths in that
region (like the Bastarnae, the Peucini, or the Skirians), and theGoths took the word already sound-shifted from them (BTW: in TabulaPeutingeriana, a Roman road map of the 3rd century C.E., theCarpathians are called "Alpes Bastarnice").Moreover, this presumable Gothic *harbada-/*harbatha- could be thesource of the Old Slavic tribal name "Hrvat", whence the name of theCroatians (in the Serbo-Croatian language, the word for "Croatian"is "Hrvat"). Beside today's Croatians (whose present location is notquite near the Carpatians), there was in early Middle Ages anotherSlavic tribe, the so-called "White Croatians", who lived in thevicinity of the Northern Carpathians (in the SW of today's Ukraine).What do you think, sounds all this plausible?
