There is an Italian surname Ferraglio, so you can't claim intellectual property rights. It probably comes from a place name, Ferraglia, near Florence.
Balestegui must be another spelling of BalasteguÃ, a Basque surname from a place name. It may mean something like "place of crows", though I think there are other interpretations.
