==Name==
The name ''Ceuja'' comes from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz, and is thus cognate to ''Deutsch'', the endonym of the [[w:German_language | German language]]. It is often elongated to ''Goceuja'', related to the rare translation of ''Gothia'' in Gothic, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰#Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰] (gutþiuda). The association of Ceuja with the Goths does not necessarily refer to actual historical Goths so much as the medieval label given to Germanic peoples in general.
