I don't know who has written these etymologies of the names of ancient Gutian kings from 3rd millenium BC in Wikipedia but it can be interestng to read them, these are some of them:

Tirigan, the last Gutian king: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirigan - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirigan it says this name comes from Proto-O.N. Tyr+gund (Tyr's battle), there are some similar Gothic names, like Tyrfing/Tirfing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrfing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrfing
Yarlaganda: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarlaganda - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarlaganda (proto-ON 'Jarl's battle'), English earl has the same origin: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=earl - http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=earl
Yarlagab: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarlagab - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarlagab (proto-ON 'Jarl's gift'), I think the Gothic word for gift is giba.
Inkishush/Ingeshush/Inkicuc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkishush - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkishush (proto-ON 'Ingvi's-son'), about Ingvi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi Yngvi, Yngvin, Ingwine, Inguin are names that relate to an older theonym Ing and which appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr (originally an epithet, meaning "lord").

This is also interesting:

A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torc - torc , the " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Pietroassa - Ring of Pietroassa ", part of a late third- to fourth-century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth - Gothic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoard - hoard discovered in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania - Romania , is inscribed in much-damaged runes, one reading of which is gutanī [i(ng)]wi[n] hailag ", "to Ingwi of the Goths. Holy".^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yngvi#cite_note-0 - [}
