In Wikisource under the Topic "Ostrogotha" I have seen an interesting name (Source: Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie)

Argunthis, King of the Scythians!

The original text: 

Ostrogotha: King of the Ostrogoths, c. 250...In a second campaign he appoints the two most noble men of his people, Argait (perhaps identical with Argunthis, whom Capitolinus calls a "king of the Scythians" under Emperor Gordian (243),) and Guntheric as military leaders against Emperor Philip. (Underlines by UA)

1800 years ago a Scythian among Goths? Quite possible if we think of the characters of the steppe-confederations. 

Argunth(+is) could be a Türkic name meaning "cross-bred(s)". 

We find this Old Türkic word in "An etymological dictionary of pre-thirteenth-century Turkish" by Gerard Clauson.

+t could be the plural suffix.

That means the name of this Scythian king could mean "the one with many cross-breed horses". 

OR

He himself was a cross-bred with many "races" of that time (Goth + Türkic + ...... )

There were many Arguns in Asian/Türkic history like:

wiki: 

Arslan Argun is the son of the Great Seljuk Sultan Alp Arslan.

*

A Türkic dynasty!

wiki:

The Arghun dynasty (Persian: خانوادهٔ ارغون)^[4] ruled over the area adjoining Southern Afghanistan and then the Sindh Sultanate from the late 15th century to the early 16th century. Arghun rule can be divided into two branches: the Arghun branch of Dhu'l-Nun Beg Arghun that ruled until 1554, and the Tarkhan branch of Muhammad Isa Tarkhan that ruled until 1593.

wiki: 

Arghun Khan (Mongolian Cyrillic: Аргун; Traditional Mongolian: ᠠᠷᠭᠤᠨ; c. 1258 – 10 March 1291) was the fourth ruler of the Mongol empire's Ilkhanate division, from 1284 to 1291.

etc.

Like we see here above the name "Argun" could easily be Türkic and the name of that Scythian King, too.
