Please look again at the etymology which bases the name
on the root vr- 'enclose, confine, restrict' and the
suffix -una-, and then look at the role of Varuna in the
Rig Veda itself, where we are even told explicitly at
one point that Varuna 'pra vrnoti', and then tell us if
you still can't see it as anything but a loanword.

And just what PIE suffix does Sanskrit -*una reflect, David?
