Arruns is in Origin.

Arruns is a rare masculine name of Etruscan origin, the Latinized rendering of the common Etruscan praenomen Arnth. Because Etruscan is only partly deciphered, the meaning remains uncertain; scholars generally list it as unknown. The Latin form appears in early Roman sources as Arruns or Aruns.

In tradition it belongs to the Tarquin dynasty: Arruns Tarquinius, son of the last king, fell in single combat with Brutus at Silva Arsia; another Arruns is named as a son of the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna. Virgil gives the name to the Etruscan who kills Camilla in the Aeneid. Variants include Arruns, Aruns, and the Etruscan Arnth; it also underlies the Roman family name Arruntius (gens Arruntia). Today the name is virtually unused, suiting those who want an ancient Italic choice with a mysterious, aristocratic aura.

Arruns does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
