The Eiraugoths (or Eiragoths/Eirugoths by Germans/Norse, or Eragoths/Erugoths by Romans) are a gothic people that kept mainly to themselves. They migrated into Germania amongst the other Gothic tribes that settled in Poland during Emperor Hadrian's time. However the group had settled in the northernmost area, having contacts with Rugii, Gepids (who was then in Prussia), and Teuton peoples. The branch of goths became identified when they did not participate in any wars against the Rugii and the Vandals when they quickly accustomed to them. Eventually, as Gothic tribes began the migrate, a somewhat small group of Goths that stayed behind felt more comfortable with their neighbors than the rest of the Goths. They were eventually given the name "Eiraugoths" (amongst others) or "Goths of Eir (a shy Norse goddess of clemency, kindness, and a healing) which mostly describe the branch of Goths to distinguish the others. Eventually after several decades, the Eiraugoths had absorbed cultures of the Rugii and Old Prussians.

By the late 4th century, the Eiraugoths was in the middle of the process of being completely absorbed into the Old Prussian culture before the arrival of the Huns. by 395, the Eiraugoths had fled up north over the years to avoid the Huns.
