The following is the origin of the world "Goidel" in the Urkeltischer Sprachschatz (1894) by Whitley Stokes and Adalbert Bezzenberger. In the Gaelic Dictionary by Malcolm MacLennan {ISBN: 0080257127} uses this reference on the word Gael.

GAELIC, GAEL, the name of the language and people of the Scottish Highlands, G. Gàidhlig, Gàidheal, Ir. Gaoidhilig, Gaedhilig, the Irish language, Gaoidheal, Irishman, E. Ir. Góedel (1100 A.D.), Gaideli (Giraldus), W. Gwyddel, Irishman: *Gâdelo-s (for Sc. Gaelic) or *Gâidelo-s (for Irish), root ghâdh, Eng. good, Ger. gut, etc.? The Scotch form seems the best, as its use has been continuous, the race being only a fourth item in Scotland. Stokes gives a proto-Gaelic *Goidelos or *Geidelos, which Bez. compares to the Gaul. Geidumni, and which Stokes compares with Lat. hoedus, goat ("Goat-men," cf. Oscan Hirpini) or Lit. gaidys, cock. GalicianMan (talk) 14:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
