 In a difficult to interpret passage, Jordanes also mentioned Rugii living in Scandinavia in his own time, near the Danes and Suedes.It has been speculated, based on their name, and the Gothic origin stories published by Jordanes, that the Rugii originally migrated from southwest Norway to Pomerania around 100 AD, and from there to the Danube River valley.The name of the Ulmerugi has been interpreted as "Holmrygir" known from much later Old Norse texts.
