Raidô "ride, journey" is the suggested Proto-Germanic name of the r-rune of the Elder Futhark ᚱ. The name is attested for the same rune in all three rune poems, NorwegianRæiðIcelandicReið, Anglo-SaxonRad, as well as for the corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet 𐍂 r, called raida. The shape of the rune may be directly derived from Latin R.
Scandinavians and Anglo-Saxons called the GothsReiðgoths, perhaps to distinguish them from the Gotlanders (Gutar, the tribal name is etymologically identical to that of Goth, *Gutans), see Reidgotaland.
