Commentary
The sequence tati could formally be a personal name tat(ii̯)os in the genitive -ī or an abbreviation (see the inscription page). The base is difficult to identify due to the many reading options (t/dā̆(n)t(t)/d-). The best candidates are dā̆t- (or, with hypocoristic gemination, datt-) as in the potter's names datos and datusio, CIL XII 2770 dattouir (Laudun), and tā̆t- (tatt-) as in RIG M-278 tatinos (coin legend of the Ruteni), CIL XIII 8221 taticenus (Köln), XIII 11978 taticoni (Urmitz), III 5350 tatucae (Kaindorf), RIU V 1208 tatuni[s] (Dunaujvaros), see Delamarre 2007: 219, 233 f. et passim. tadius, tadia are attested in a British inscription (RIB 369, Isca Silurum); a few forms in tant- are listed by Holder AcS II: 1723. All the above bases are etymologically obscure, though tat- is plausibly connected to the Lallwort for 'father' (OIr. tata, W tad, see AcS ii: 1751) by Meid 2005: 291 f. Theoretically, the name could of course also be non-Celtic and borrowed from a substrate language. Cf. Salomon 2024c: 3–5, Salomon 2024: 166.
