''Toutatis'' (pronounced {{IPA-cel|towˈtaːtis|}} in [[Gaulish language|Gaulish]]) and its variants ''Toutates'', ''Teutates'', ''Tūtatus'' and ''Toutorīx'', comes from the Gaulish Celtic root ''toutā'', meaning 'tribe' or 'people' (compare [[Old Irish]] ''tuath'' and [[Welsh language|Welsh]] ''tud''). A literal meaning would thus be "god of the tribe".<ref name="Cunliffe"/> A similar phrase is found in [[Irish mythology]], which mentions the [[oath]] formula ''tongu do dia tongas mo thuath'', roughly "I swear by the god by whom my tribe swears".<ref name="Koch"/> [[Bernhard Maier]] proposes that his name derives from an older *''teuto-tatis'', with the meaning 'father of the tribe', although he notes that this etymology is uncertain.<ref name="Maier"/>
It is believed ''Toutatis'' was a title for the [[tutelary deity|tutelary gods]] of various tribes.<ref name="Koch"/> [[Miranda Aldhouse-Green]] suggests that ''Toutatis'' was an epithet or description for Celtic tribal protector-gods, rather than a name.<ref name="Aldhouse"/> Paul-Marie Duval suggests that each tribe had its own ''Toutatis''; he further considers the Gaulish Mars the product of syncretism with the Celtic ''Toutatis'', noting the great number of indigenous epithets under which Mars was worshipped.<ref name="Duval"/>
