Surname
A theory according to which the name of the city comes from the Celtic and thus from the pre-Roman times has not yet been verified. At the time of Roman rule, the Comagena fort was located in Tulln, which secured the Limes. Later the settlement was called a city (Comagenis Civitas).

In the Eastern Austrian dialect, the double L in the city name is pronounced very loosely, the city is referred to as "Tujn".
