But I have no reason to think that 'One-hand' is the name of some Man that could be Beren's father, and Beren himself becomes 'One-handed'.

Yes, I agree we could wriggle (as I say, even try a place-name). If we didn't know, Arathornion might not mean 'Son of Arathorn' technically, but it would likely be my prime choice for 'Aragorn Arathornion' if I had an idea that Arathorn was one of the West-men.

Point taken that it's not the only possibility. I would agree with that; it never was really, but the patronymic got and gets my vote if I had to choose.
