Was this a usual way of naming places? As far as I know (O.K., that's not very far) all old Swedish place names that are based on the name of a people or tribe use the plural genitive of that people's name, none of them uses the -isk adjective. E.g. Gota-land, where gota is an old pl. genitive form.
