Flash- My encyclopedia says "Visigoth" is from Latin meaning "good Goths" My dictionary say it is
of uncertain origin. I had always heard it meant "West Goths".
Incidentally Jordanes called his ancestore "Getae".
What I ;have been ;unable to get any cl;ues about is what enabled them to become so numerous
and powerful. Could it have been the delayed acquisition of iron tools that enabled them to
create arable land and resulting increase in food supply?
