  14. Rondal

    • Description:

      Rondal is a masculine name that serves as a variation of Ronald, which derives from Old Norse elements meaning 'ruler's counselor' or 'mighty ruler.' This alternative spelling maintains the strong, decisive character of Ronald while offering a subtle distinction. The name has a firm, solid quality with its straightforward pronunciation. Rondal saw modest usage in the United States during the mid-20th century when Ronald was at its peak popularity, particularly in southern regions. It carries associations with leadership, wisdom, and authority from its etymological roots. While less common than Ronald, Rondal offers parents a way to honor traditional naming patterns while providing a slightly unique twist that distinguishes their child.
