Looking at an Italian dictionary, the closest I could get was "arenato" which means stranded or beached or a strand which is a beach ...the last part of the name is obviously a diminutive, but maybe the L and R difference is regional or occurred upon immigration.

Nothing even that close in a Spanish dictionary, but maybe Sagani knows ...
