"El Olones"

[jester at PANIX.COM]

A friend has been researching his ancestry, which is part Cuban,
and has traced it back to a man alleged to have been the bastard
son of a pirate. The pirate was known only as "El Olones."

Does anyone know what this means? The friend has been unable to
find out.

I apologize if this is an extremely basic question; it's not in
my Spanish dictionary and I assume that the friend has done at
least some work to find out.

Thanks,
