Commentary

Compound personal name in the dative, formed with the common second element māro- 'great'. The etymology and thus semantics of the first element latu- are not quite clear. If it is a variant of the o-stem discussed on the morpheme page lāt- (Lejeune 1971: 58 f. with n. 165) meaning 'fury, heat', latumaros 'great in heroic fury' presents as a typical Gaulish PN. It is notable, however, that lato- is – unlike lati- – not common in personal names, which may indicate that latu- (also in names like CIL XIII 2802 latussio, latuna, laturus, see AcS II: 156, Delamarre 2007: 115) should be kept separate (Lejeune 1971: 59). Rhŷs 1913: 64 f. suggests a connection with W llad 'beer; gift' (→ 'great in drink = hospitality'), which is however reconstructed as an i-stem by Irslinger 2002: 206 f. (also Matasović 2009: 233). Eska 1998c: 74 reconstructs latu- < *pl̥h₂-tu-, presumably following Schmidt's interpretation of lato- as 'plain', which in the present case is dubious semantically.

A full comparandum is noted by Lejeune 1987: 498: laTuBaŕo is attested in Celtiberian script in a stamp on an amphora from Ensérune.
