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.
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 Holder 1896-1907: I 1374-1376, KGP: 200-201, DLG: 154, Delamarre 2007: 91, 186, 220, Sims-Williams 2003: 101, Markey & Mees 2003: 143, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 152, Tibiletti Bruno 1975: 50.
