Vrangr was Galbatorix's name for Vrael's sword. Originally called Islingr, 'Light bringer', Vrangr translates in the Ancient Language as 'Awry', though in Du Vrangr Gata it can be translated as 'wandering'. It was taken from Vrael by Galbatorix after Vrael's defeat and death at Ristvak'baen. Vrangr was described as having a stark white blade, hilt and crossguard, and the gem within the pommel was clear "as a mountain spring".
The sword was originally used by Eragön I.

Vrangr's origins go further back than Vrael. In a reddit Q&A session, Christopher confirmed that indeed the sword was once Eragon I's (The first Dragon Rider). This makes it the first sword of the riders'.
In the real world, vrangr is Old Norse for "twisted" or "wrong, false", both of which can apply since Galbatorix "twisted" the sword's original purpose by "wrongly" using it for his own ends.
