1. GewisseThe Gewisse was a tribe or clan of Anglo-Saxon England, based in the upper Thames region around Dorchester-on-Thames. The name of the tribe may be derived from an Old English word for "reliable" or "sure", (cf. German gewiss = "certain, sure"). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle presents an eponymous ancestor figure, named Giwis. Eilert Ekwall proposed that the similarity in toponymy between the kingdoms of the Gewisse and Hwicce suggests a common origin.
