Where does german 'Jüte' come from? 80.121.94.77 21:17, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

It must be descended from this word, somehow, but names for people are often borrowed from one language to the other. The Old High Germans wouldn't have been in direct contact with the Jutes, so everything they knew about them would have come through the Saxons living north of them. So it's likely that the German word comes through either the Danes or the Saxons. —CodeCat 21:23, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
