Surname
Tugstein is a term that occurs several times in Vorarlberg. According to Johann Christoph Adelung's grammatical-critical dictionary of the High German dialect , Tof is the name for “ a chalk-like, very porous type of stone, which resembles a petrified sponge and generally contains many remains of shellfish. In a wider sense, every type of porous stone, even if it is sand-like, is called tof stone ”. Other names are: Tuf , Tufstein , Duft , Duftstein , Tugstein , Tuchsstein , Duckstein . In Latin for Pliny and Vitruvius Tophus or Tofus would be used, in French : Tuf . According to Adelung, Tof is said to be " an old European word that is related to the Latin in the sidelines, but not derived from it ".
The mountain parcel and settlement has the name of the tufa limestone deposits located here.
