Der Name Arrufat ist ein katalanischer Übername, der vom katalanischen Adjektiv arrufat (dt. ‚gerunzelt‘, ‚zerzaust‘) abstammt. Etymologisch lässt sich der Wortstamm auf die germanische Wurzel *raupjan (althochdeutsch roufen, neuhochdeutsch raufen) zurückführen. Diese Wurzel gelangte vermutlich über das Westgotische in den katalanischen Sprachraum und entwickelte sich parallel zum italienischen Verb ‚arruffare‘ (zerzausen). Die Endung -at markiert die Partizipform (‚der Geraufte/Gerunzelte‘).

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Arrufat”, the useful work is to connect “wikimedia disambiguation page” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q703850. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1935, 2023, 1311 and 1894.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
