What is the meaning of the name Deronah ?

The baby name Deronah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced deh-ROH-nah (də-ROH-nə, /dəˈroʊnə/).

Deronah is English in Origin.

Deronah (deh-ROH-nuh) is a modern, largely English-language creation built from the style prefix De- joined to Rona/Ronah and finished with the feminine -ah ending common in Semitic names. Because Rona in Hebrew relates to rina, “joy; joyful song,” Deronah is often interpreted as carrying a bright, celebratory sense. In Scottish Gaelic, Rona also echoes the island name Rònaigh (“rough island”), giving an alternate, place-derived flavor to the blend.

Documented use is rare before the late 20th century, and the name remains uncommon, favored by parents who enjoy contemporary coinages and fluid cross-cultural echoes. Variants and spellings include Derona, DeRona, De’Rona, Deronna, and Deronae; related choices are Rona, Verona, and Dorona, while Deron/Daron serve as masculine counterparts. With no fixed traditional patronage, Deronah’s meaning rests on its components, most often read as “joyful song,” yet open to the wearer’s own story.
