tunal is one of two forms in Cisalpine Celtic funerary inscriptions ending in -al, the other being ualaunal; in essence, what is said about that form also applies here. Cf. Markey & Mees 2003: 143
For the etymology of the presumable underlying onomastic element tun-, multiple options are available. Gaulish names in dun- are usually connected with dūn- 'fort'; names in dunn-, such as the nearest comparandum CIL V 5618 dunnonis (gen., Castelseprio – the name of the father of a surica), can be hypocoristics from names in dūn- with geminated /n/ (Lejeune 1971: 65, n. 228), or derived from dunn- 'brown'. Names in tunn- are rare and mainly attested in Africa, but a tunnius appears at Susa (CIL V 7311). See Ferrero 1897: 58, Rhŷs 1913: 53, Tibiletti Bruno 1975: 50, Tibiletti Bruno 1978c: 24, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 152. Cf. tuni.
