Commentary
Reading not quite certain and possibly incomplete in the beginning, see the inscription page.
If Celtic, the form must be a genitive in -ī; due to the non-obvious structure of the text, specifically the form's relation to the other word in the inscription, it is not entirely certain that the form is a patronym (as opposed to a genitive '(stela) of Ranen(i)os).
Good Gaulish onomastic comparanda are sparse; the best candidate is rand- as in the epithet of Mars randosatis (CIL XIII 1516) and the personal name ueniranda (CIL X 2940), maybe also rannius (CIL XIII 10001) with assimilation, but cf. also ranocorus (CIIC 458) (see AcS II: 1073, Delamarre 2007: 151, 229; cf. Lejeune 1971: 64, n. 216). Delamarre (DLG: 164 f. s.v. equoranda, following LEIA: R-7) speculates about a connection of Gaul. rand- with OIr. rann, W rhan 'division, part', though this is questionable etymologically (IE *pr̥sh₃nā? The putative Gaulish comparandum is not mentioned in Matasović 2009: 138 f. s.v. *frasnā.) The form seems to be derived with a suffix -ē̆n-.
