Ronell is English in Origin.

Ronell is a modern given name in English and Afrikaans, created by adding the -ell/-elle ending to the base Ron. The root Ron can point two ways: as a short form of Ronald, from Old Norse Rögnvaldr (“advice/counsel of the gods” + “ruler”), it yields the meaning “ruler’s counsel”; from Hebrew Ron (“song, joy”) combined with the theophoric element El (“God”), it is often interpreted as “song/joy of God.” Consequently, Ronell is typically read as either an elaborated Ronald-name or a Hebrew-inspired blend.

Documented in the United States from the mid-20th century, Ronell remains rare and is used by all genders, with noticeable occurrence among African-American men; in South Africa it appears more often as a feminine Afrikaans name. Variants and related forms include Ronel, Ronelle (feminine), and Ronnell (masculine). Short forms and nicknames include Ron, Roni/Ronie, and Nell/Nelle.
