Tuticia gens
The gens Tuticia was an obscure plebeian family of imperial times at ancient Rome. No members of this gens are mentioned by Roman writers, but several are known from inscriptions. Origin
The nomen Tuticius belongs to a class of gentilicia originally formed from cognomina ending in  and . As these became widespread,  came to be regarded as a regular gentile-forming suffix, which was used to form gentilicia from other nomina. Tuticius might have been formed in this manner from the existing nomen Tutius, an Oscan or Latin name perhaps derived from the Oscan word touto, a people, or Latin tutus, "safe". Members
