Tit is a very old variant of the word teat, meaning nipple. Its usage for the human breast is also old, but is considered vulgar.

Humor (fiction): It may have also come from the inventor of the bra, who's last name was Titzling. The connection between his name, and the bra being a type of sling for ones breast. So, people called the bra a tit sling, hence the word tit originated.

The words tetis and tetys for breasts were in use in the fourteenth century as these words appear in the Song of Solomon in the Wycliffe Bible
