However, in modern times, the term has taken on a broader meaning and is often used to describe anyone who is perceived as different or unfamiliar.

The Ostrogoths originated in what is now modern-day Ukraine and played a significant role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. They eventually established their own kingdom in Italy, but their origins were in the East, not the West.
