==== - Visigothic names are Germanic, not Latin or Spanish in origin. ====
* Many meanings are reconstructed, not attested directly in Gothic texts.
* Several kings ruled simultaneously during civil wars (especially at the end).

If you want, I can also:
* Provide pronunciations
* Highlight name patterns (-ric, -gild, -winth)
* Create a timeline chart
* Compare Visigothic names with modern Spanish names

Just tell me.
