Word TAUTA in Proto Baltic language ment TRIBE, NATION.

Baltic names Tautgailas, Tautginas, Tautgintas, Tautgirdas,
Tautkantas, Tautmantas, Tautmilas, Tautminas, Tautrimas, Tautvaishas,
Tautvaldas, Tautvydas, Tautvilas > shortened form Tautas > name
Tautaitis, meaning "son of Tautas" > misspeling Teutates ?

I' wondering where this Teutates was mentioned?
