Etymology
In Ekwall's opinion this is the gen. plur. of a group-name in -ingas (Tutinga -) followed by tūn , which he translates 'the tūn of Tutta 's people' (DEPN). The pers.n. Tutta is evidenced independently in Old English (v. Redin 111). The evidence of the early forms rather suggests that this is a name in -ingtūn , where -ing- is only a connective particle, and the name should be explained as 'tūn associated with Tutta ' (v. Mills s.n.).
