The root word of the place name probably goes back to "-ard" for "settlement, dwelling". The first part of the place name has its origin in "thiotan" for "rushing, sounding", probably based on a water body name. He has the meaning "the noisy, rushing"; So probably "rushing water" since the Aper Deep is nearby. Accordingly, the place name stands for "settlement by the rushing water".
