"Aro": Hoop, ring, or loop. And "Fruti", is well, fruity.
 
The cereal's name is literally "Fruity loops"." My guess is that they changed the last part to avoid some kind of copyright with Kellogg's as "Fruti Lupis," is the earlier name for Fruit Loops in Mexico - some say, pre 1988 - while the first portion is a "hook," commonly found in similarity-brands. The cereal is still widely known under that name and I don't remember hearing Fruit Loops until sometime in the late 2000s.
