I don't see an etymology of the name on the site, so I'll just assume they misspelled "tuit" [0]

AFAIK this name was intentionally given with Austin Powers reference.

Must be because I learned some French as a kid, but I can't help reading the "oi" as a "wa" sound in this context. Probably not what the authors were going for.
