Were the Teutones defeated by Marius in the 2nd century BC related to the Teutonic peoples encountered later in European history?

Can you clarify what kind of "teutonic" people you mean? It later became an out-group term for Germans, for example in "Teutonic Order" (Deutscher Orden). Do you have a specific group of people in mind or are asking about the history of the word?
