In summary

According to Coromines and Pascual, from Old Spanish trufán, attested since the 13th century, borrowed from Old French truand (“a mendicant; a crook or gangster”), from a Gaulish *trūgantos, perhaps diminutive of *trūgos, cognate with English truant, Irish trogán, related to Old Irish tróg (“miserable, unfortunate”), Breton tru (“weak”).
