Commentary
The name surica, suricus is also attested in CIL V 5618 suricae (dat., Castelseprio), 4856 surici (gen., Maderno), as well as III 4197 surica. Rhŷs 1913: 55 f. suggests a segmentation into a first element su- 'good' and second element rik- as in OIr. richt 'form, appearance' (i.e. 'of good appearance'), but the latter cannot be divorced from its suffix and probably corresponds to Gaul. riktu- (see Irslinger 2002: 123). Delamarre 2007: 175, 230, 233 also separates su-, but goes with rīg- 'ruler' as second element, possibly with regard to V 8939 surix (Vercelli), in which the reading of ⟨x⟩ appears to be uncertain. In thematised suricus, surica, the velar should be /g/ at least in some of the attestations, which renders this semantically attractive analysis unlikely. Since sur(i)us, sur(i)a as well as names which look like hypocoristic derivations, such as surianus, surilla, surucca, are well and widely attested (see AcS II: 1672–1682, Delamarre 2007: 175), including sura at Oleggio. It seems preferable to analyse surica as a hypocoristic from a name in sur- with a velar suffix -ik-.
