It is the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese form of Titus, which is a Roman prelude of unknown significance, but rather associated with the word, titulus, referring to the title of nobility or honor. It is more likely to originate in an extinct italic dialect, related to Umbria, which survived only in inscriptions dating from the 4th century BC, as it was supported by the legendary Sabino's king Tito Tacitus.
