Gauti is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.
Gauti is a masculine name of Old Norse origin, borne in medieval Icelandic sources. It derives from the ethnonym Gautr, referring to a member of the Gautar (the Geats) of southern Sweden, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *Gautaz and related to the name of the Goths. In legend and saga material, Gauti appears as an eponymous ancestor of the Geats and is linked to Odin’s byname Gautr. The name is recorded across Norse literature and reflects the close ties among Scandinavia’s early peoples.
Modern use is strongest in Iceland; it also appears in Sweden and Norway. Variants and cognates include Old Norse Gautr, Icelandic Gauti, Swedish Göte, and Norwegian Gøte; feminine counterparts include Göta. The usual meaning is “Geat; man from Götaland,” though some scholars connect the root with “to pour,” from the Proto-Germanic verb *geutaną, giving a secondary sense like “the pourer.”
