Not those. Oarni are... well, 'mermaids' in one translation, but for consistency with what we understand about Middle-earth, they're best thought of as proto-Maiar. Not to say they couldn't be fish-tailed women if they really wanted, but...
(I mean, they could probably be giants, too, if they really put their minds to it. But, again, but.)
So far as I can tell, this character isn't mentioned on either Tolkien Gateway or the Encyclopedia of Arda. He does have a Wikipedia article, though!
His name is actually a relatively common English word.
