Etymology
Of uncertain and disputed origin, the name has been connected to several different Germanic names and words, such as Old Saxon Eucii, Old Norse jǫtunn (“jotun”), Old English eoten (“monster, giant”), from Proto-Germanic *etunaz, from Proto-Germanic *etaną (“to eat”). Or possibly related to Proto-Germanic *gautaz (“Geat”).
