Svear

…After that, trade with the Roman Empire, which expanded northward, flourished, and the Sviones, thought to be the ancestors of the Swedes, were mentioned for the first time in written sources in Tacitus' Germania. After that, the written sources remained silent, but in the mid-6th century, Jordanes' Origin and Exploits of the Goths and Procopius's De Wars mentioned the Svear and other Scandinavian tribes. The Svear, who had been powerful in the Uppsala region since the end of the 5th century, traded with Eastern and Western Europe, continued colonizing the area around present-day Latvia, and built the foundations for the trade routes that would expand in later times. …

From [The Great Migration]

...there were three groups: the East Germanic tribes who lived in the eastern part of Germany before the migration, the West Germanic tribes who lived in the western part of Germany, and the North Germanic tribes who lived in Scandinavia and Jutland. The East Germanic tribes include the East Goths, the West Goths, the Vandals, the Burgundians, and the Lombards. The West Germanic tribes include the Franks, the Saxons, the Friesens, the Alamanns, the Bavarians, and the Thuringians. The North Germanic tribes include the Danes, the Swedes, and the Norwegians. Of these, the North Germanic tribes migrated somewhat later than the first two, between the 8th and 11th centuries, under the name of Norman, to England, Ireland, Normandy, Iceland, and as far east as Kievan Rus, establishing states in each of these lands; therefore, this is usually referred to as the second migration.

…その一つは,移動前,ゲルマニアの東部にいた東ゲルマン諸族,次はその西部にいた西ゲルマン諸族,そしていま一つは北方スカンジナビア半島やユトランド半島にいた北ゲルマン諸族である。東ゲルマンに属する部族としては,東ゴート,西ゴート,バンダルWandalen,ブルグントBurgunder,ランゴバルドLangobardenなどが数えられ,西ゲルマンでは,フランクFranken,ザクセンSachsen,フリーゼンFriesen,アラマンAlamannen,バイエルンBayern,チューリンガーThüringerなどが,また北ゲルマンでは,デーンDänen,スウェーデンSchweden(スベアSvear),ノルウェーNorwegerなどが挙げられる。このうち北ゲルマン諸族は,前2者よりやや遅れ,8世紀から11世紀にかけ,ノルマン人の名でイングランド,アイルランド,ノルマンディー,アイスランドならびに東方遠くキエフ・ロシアにまで移動し,それぞれの地に建国したため,通常これを第2の民族移動と称する。…
