Rannie is in Origin.

Rannie is a rare, largely English- and Scots-usage diminutive shaped by several sources. Most often it serves as a pet form of Ranald or Ronald - Gaelic Raghnall from Old Norse Ragnvaldr, built from elements meaning “counsel/advice” + “ruler” - and, by sound, of Randolph or Randall in English. In South Asian settings it can also be an affectionate elaboration of Rani/Ranee, the Sanskrit title for a queen. The Scots surname Rainnie/Rannie has likewise helped normalize the spelling as a given name.

Attested in 19th- and early 20th‑century records in Scotland, Canada, and the United States, Rannie appears for both sexes and occasionally as an independent birth name. Variant forms include Rani, Ranee, Ranny, and Rennie; related full names are Ranald, Ronald, Randolph, Randall, and Rania. Depending on its root, meanings range from “ruler with counsel” (Norse/Gaelic line) to “queen” (Sanskrit), all wrapped in a warmly vintage, nickname-forward style.
