[Surname] Re: Huaranga
There are Huarangas in Spain as you can see at http://tr.im/ifLV. Judging by where some of them live, I'd say the name is probably Catalan. You might find the origin in Moll's Els llinatges catalans which I don't have at hand.

They could be Peruvian immigrants, like the Huaranga mentioned in this article -

According to another article on the BBC Mundo website, Colombian and Peruvian residents in Spain number 400,000 combined.
