Where did Ostrogoth come from?

The Ostrogoths were a branch of the larger Gothic group, originally stemming from the region around modern-day Scandinavia. They migrated southward, settling in areas of Eastern Europe, particularly around the Black Sea, before eventually moving into Italy during the late Roman Empire. Their name, "Ostrogoth," means "Eastern Goth," distinguishing them from the Visigoths, who settled in the west. They played a significant role in the decline of the Western Roman Empire and established a kingdom in Italy under Theodoric the Great.
