[Facts] Re: Arenda
My great grandmother that i was named after was from llanelli, wales. when i was a child, i was playing around in a shopping mall and my mom was yelling out my name to find me, 'Arenda, arenda!" and woman stopped her and asked if arenda was the name she was calling. the woman told my mother that the name Arenda was a family name passed down through her family, and was a traditional Basque name. that is the only thing i have ever heard about it.

Which of the two given sources, Germany or Basque (if either), had greater influence in Wales at that time?
