An uncommon Old Norse pick — distinctive and rare.
A diminutive of the male given name Ronald.
Ronny is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old Norse origin, a diminutive of Ronald, from the Norse Rögnvaldr meaning 'ruler's counselor' or 'wise ruler.' Ronny carries a warm, mid-century American familiarity — easy on the tongue and enduringly friendly.
Ronny was #1515 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2539, but its charm endures.
