Maybe it is related to the Barangians (or, Varangians) a group of Norse vikings. The Barangians at one time served as pretty ruthless guards of Eatern Roman ("Byzantine")emperors.
According to one source (http://viking.no/e/france/family-names.html), the name is derived from Var- (vigilant) and -Asgaut.
