First, it is not certain that Götaland derives from the name of the Goths, or the Geats.

And second, if you think that the Goths who crossed the Danube after their long wandering, were anything like the people who stayed behind, you are missing much.

The Goths are classified as Germanic. So anyone who has a Gothic heritage has Germanic heritage, whether the Gothic element has been absorbed culturally or not, it doesnt change that fact.

Have you read what I wrote?

By the way, the Goths did have a relatively large influence over Iberia and parts of modern France. But it seems as if you didnt quite agree with this in your post?

Please, provide a list of that "influence" in terms of "germanic[ism]".

And the Suebian kingdom on the northern coast of Iberia as you can see in the picture, would also suggest some Germanic influence from there perhaps.

There was no such Suebian kingdom in the "northern coast of Iberia". All of what you see in white on that map is not "Suebian expansion", but "non-Gothic domains" at a given period of history. The Goths did not settle in Aquitania (SW Gaul) and Narbonensis (SE Gaul) at the same time. And the kingdom of the Suebians was eventually conquered and assimilated in the Gothia (aka Hispania).

To be able to see better what I'm saying, you must first ask yourself this question: who influenced who?
And then come up with the right answer.
