Gallo-Roman suffix -acum is of Gallic origin and is often preceded by a person's name, indicates the property. The original name of Chitry (Fort), for example, was built on the same mode, Chistriacum that Thury. The current names of villages whose termination is to come from this original Gallic or Gallo-Roman Aisy, Arcy, Augy, Chemilly, Cheny, Chichy, Courgis, and so on.

Thury can also be explained by an appellative turra, pre-Latin origin, perhaps Gaul, who gave birth to a long list of microtoponyms because she remained alive until our time in patois means tureau "height ", followed by the same suffix -acum already mentioned in the previous case. Thus: Thoires, Thorey, Thorigny Thurey, Toury-Lurcy, Tharot.
