Oium or Aujum was a name for an area in Scythia, where arguably the Goths under their king Filimer settled after leaving Gothiscandza, according to the Getica by Jordanes, written around 551. Jordanes does not give the etymology, but many scholars interpret this word as a dative plural to the widespread Germanic words *aujo- or *auwo- and means "well-watered meadow" or "island".
