1152 Driritum, 1189 Titeritun, 1218 Thierutun, 1226 Titritun, 1347 Titritten, 1415 Titterten (dialectically "Ditterte"). In the strange form of the name there is probably the Celto-Roman ending "dunum", which means "fixed place" or, in an expanded interpretation, fortress. This ending is related to our "Zuun" (fence) and denotes a fixed place.
