Notice that the Romans named an already existing

I told you that before. I also told you that the name is
thought most probably to be derived from a Celtic personal
name <Turus> (or <Turos>). And if you could read, you would
notice that your sources says that the Germanic Alamanni
didn't arrive until the FIFTH century, while the
predecessors of the Romans were Celtic.

it is the Roman's name for it. Notice there is no
mention of Lake Turicum, but rather a Lake Zürich.

Trying a conversion to reality-based thinking? Good luck.
