I have talked about the relation between Goths and Guti people in several threads, like these ones:

Gotvandi (Dezfuli), Guti and Gothic

Tyr,Tiregan,Tirigan,Tervingi,Tyragetae,Targitaus

Germanic Etymologies of Ancient Gutian Kings' Name

Gothic/Guti invention of boat of skins?

As you read I had also mentioned the ancient land of Alman beside the land of Guti, the name of Alman can be also related to Alemanni, another Germanic people.

But what I found today is another name: Suedin. It is interesting that it is the name of Sweden in the Persian language, like Alman which is the name of Germany in our language.

It is interesting that there are still some places in the northwest of Iran with the names similar to Suedin, like this one: Sudin-abad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudinabad
