Roman-Gens-Tuticia-versus-Turkic-Tutik

 

Source: wiki

There was an obscure plebeian family of imperial times at ancient Rome called Tuticius. 

Wiki is the one and only source where we can find a bit information:

"The nomen Tuticius belongs to a class of gentilicia originally formed from cognomina ending in -ex and -icis. As these became widespread, -icius 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".^"

^{Wiki tells something about the name and possible origin.} 

^{But it is not sure about that.} 

^{The members of this family lived in the first centuries} 

^{after Jesus. There are many stones where we can read} 

^{their name.} 

^{(See below the links at the end!)}

^{My turn:} 

^{I have shown that many Roman families} 

^{could have had Türk origin like Gens Otacilia, Gens Ogulnii,} 

^{Gens Hortensii, Gens Turcius, Gens Turullius....}

^{I have an etymological proposal about the name Tuticius, too.}

Tutık/Tutug means in Old Türkic the slave, derived from the verb tut-, meaning the catch ,to hunt, to keep. 

There are many Tutık/Tutug in the Türk history like: 

Shad Tutık of the Türk Kimek tribe, Tay Bilge Tutuk, Çiğil Tutuk on the Orkhun Stones, Kuşı Tutık the opponent of Kül Tigin, and others..

*

Possible scenario: The family member came to Rome as slaves and worked their way up. Like Mamluke Türks who came to Egypt and India as slaves and became even rulers of those lands.

Possible?

Why not?

At least I have something more concrete in my hand, don't I?
