Ronna
Ronna Origin and Meaning
Ronna is a feminine name that likely originated as a diminutive form of names like Veronica, Rhonda, or Sharon. It may also be considered a feminine variation of Ron or Ronald, which comes from the Old Norse 'Rögnvaldr' meaning 'ruler's advisor.' Emerging in popularity during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s, Ronna peaked as part of the trend toward shorter, friendlier-sounding female names. The name has a distinctly mid-century American feel, sharing qualities with contemporaries like Donna and Lonna. Though never reaching high levels of popularity, Ronna maintains a straightforward, unpretentious charm with its simple two-syllable structure and soft sounds. Usage has declined since its mid-century peak, giving it a somewhat vintage character today.
