I would guess that instead it is a liquid consonant and the pronunciation varied by the speaker. I actually saw both Rufrano and at least one instance of Lofrano in the same town but Rufrano is predominant.

As a genealogist, I consider as a "real" name the name at birth.
However, it's only a habit of mine.
