Rhonda-Sue is in Origin.
Rhonda-Sue is a hyphenated feminine compound given name in English, pairing Rhonda with Sue. Rhonda arose in the English-speaking world from the Welsh place-name Rhondda; its meaning is often explained as good spear (from Welsh rhon spear + da good), though scholars note the etymology is uncertain. Sue is the clipped English form of Susan/Susannah, ultimately from Hebrew Shoshana, lily or rose. Together, the name blends a sense of strength with floral grace.
Double-barreled names flourished across North America and Britain in the mid-20th century, and Rhonda-Sue fits that era's style, echoing the popularity of both elements (think Peggy Sue and Help Me, Rhonda). Today it reads retro and is rare, sometimes chosen to honor a Rhonda and a Susan in one. Variants include Rhonda Sue (unhyphenated), Ronda-Sue/Ronda Sue (simplified spelling), and punctuation shifts such as using an en dash. Nicknames and short forms include Rhon, Rhonnie, Roni, and Sue.
Rhonda-Sue does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
