About Ronin
In the USA, both spellings of this old Celtic name have risen significantly in recent years, however, Ronan outpaced this version in the lasts, and we, too, prefer the slightly more rounded and gentle look of the original. History and movie buffs may appreciate this version though, due to its association with renegade samurai in Feudal Japan - and provides it with a second possible meaning: "drifter, wanderer, and masterless samurai". Ronin is also used within the Marvel Universe.
Ronin is currently in the US Top 500, and in recent years, it has been given to around 640 babies each year.
Ronin is also given to girls, where it ranks #6775 in the US.
Pronounced ROH-nin.
As of October 2026, Ronin ranked #6775 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5458 in 2020.
