Notes
Note-1: Source of information - The information comes from various ancient historical documents, beginning in the 2nd century BC and extending into late antiquity. By the Early Middle Ages, early forms of kingship began to have an historical impact across Europe, with the exception of Northern Europe, where the Vendel Period from AD 550 to 800 and the subsequent Viking Age until AD 1050 are still seen in the Germanic context.
Note-2: Phonetic Similarity with Jat clans - Many Germanic tribes have phonetic similarity with Jat clans. Such Jat clans have also been listed here. If the Jat clan name appears in some Jat History source it has been referenced. Others are added by Jatland. If a Germanic tribe has similarity with Indian place name it has been marked with *. What is the actual connection is a matter of research.
Note-3: Suffix used by Jats - Germanic tribes like Cantware, Merscware, Wihtwara etc. use -wara or -ware as suffix for the term 'dwellers'. -wara or -ware is suffix added to Jat habitations as in Jatwara, Bais-wara, Yaudheya-wara etc. It indicates a common practice of keeping place names.
Note-3: Germanic tribe names suffix -
(a) The suffix -ling is Germanic, denoting members of a line, usually one descended from a common ancestor. [1].
(b) The suffix -ing- is Germanic, as in in Tulingi, Lacringi, Thuringii, Turcilingi, is a frequently used suffix in forming Germanic tribal names.
(c) The suffix -ingas is the Latinized version of inge as in Gillingas, an ethnonym for the Ingaevones, A West Germanic cultural group living along the North Sea coast in the areas of Jutland, Holstein, and Frisia in classical antiquity.[2]
(d) The suffix -Ungi classical Germanic as in Juthungi = Jutes + Ungi
(e)The suffix -varii is most prolific among Germanic tribal names (Ampsivarii, Angrivarii, Raetovarii, Falchovarii, Baiuvarii, Vidivarii) means "inhabitants of", "dwellers in".
