Initially thought to derive from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to knead clay, build”), relating to the clay banks of the river; however, this is rather un-Italic phonetically.
Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *digʰ- (“she-goat”) (see also Ancient Greek δίζα (díza, “goat”), Proto-West Germanic *tigā). Combined with + -entia, the name would translate to something like ‘stream of the goats.’
