Is ethnonym "tat/tatchik" connected to Persian "tudeh"(=folk)[from PIE *teuta]?

Hi dear forum users
According to Wikipedia, the ethnonyms "tat"&"Tadjik" do descend from a Turkic source (yet afaik Turkic "tat" means "taste") but could that ethnonym be descended from Persian "tudeh"(folk in Persian) wich stems from PIE *teuta (folk, tribe) wich gave us the ethnonyms "deutsch" and "dutch"

Thanks for your attention

Best Regards
