Tutinia gens

The gens Tutinia 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 Tutinius belongs to a class of gentilicia originally formed from cognomina ending in -inus. The derivative suffix -inius then came to be used to form new nomina from existing gentilicia. Tutinius seems to have been formed from a nomen such as Tutius, which was probably derived either from the Latin tutus, "safe", or perhaps from the Oscan touto, a people.
