Meaning and background
The story behind Tuti
Tuti appears as an Italian surname, and the *Dictionary of American Family Names* analyses it as a patronymic or plural of a shortened form of Benvenuto. That supplies one attested family-name route. The bare Roman-letter spelling does not rule out nicknames or words in other languages, so it cannot safely carry a universal meaning for a dog. Its longer ancestral link should be kept distinct from the sound of the modern name.
- Origin
