To add to article[edit]

Basic information to add to this article (in order to make it properly encyclopedic) the origin/etymology of this name. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 03:38, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found the following online:

The name of two separate family linages with no relation between each other. One family originates from Linköping, Östergötland and probably got its name from Ancient Greek ᾰ̓́ρρην (árrhēn) "male" (taken from the last syllable of ancestor's last name, Kapfelman). The other family got its name from a latinization of the name of the village Årena in Småland.
