Ronella Origin and Meaning

The name Ronella is a girl's name.

Ronella is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a diminutive form of Veronica or a feminine version of Ronald, which comes from the Old Norse name Rögnvaldr meaning 'ruler's advisor.' Another theory suggests it combines elements of Rhona (meaning 'rough island' in Scottish Gaelic) with the feminine suffix '-ella.' This melodious name has never been among the most popular choices but maintains a steady presence as a distinctive option. Ronella carries a vintage charm while remaining uncommon enough to feel unique. The name offers the cute nickname options of Ronnie or Nella, giving versatility throughout different life stages.
