Hello, Totila (Baduila) was the last great king of the Ostrogoths in Italy, its name in the gothic language means "The immortal" in fact the etymology seems to me unclear: The root is Tot that surely means death plus the suffix -ila that I can't understand, can anybody help in debunking Baduila nickname?
