On the subject of the 'Gododdin' tribal name; I don't know how latinised the 'original' name 'Votadini' is, but as far as I know (though if anyone wishes to correct me on this, please do!), 'Gododdin' is actually the more modern Welsh-language spelling of the name, taking into account the changes in pronunciation and orthography. So the idea is: Votadini - Guotodin - Gododdin. That's how I've heard it explained, anyway.
