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.
