Ronen as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Ronen

What is the meaning of the name Ronen ?

The baby name Ronen is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ROH-nen.

Ronen is Hebrew in Origin.

Ronen is a Hebrew masculine name written רוֹנֵן (Ronen). Its lexical base is the Biblical Hebrew root רנן, traditionally transliterated r-n-n; the verb ranan denotes crying out, singing, or rejoicing. In the given-name form, the o-e vocalism reflects a participial Modern Hebrew pattern, so the literal sense is one who sings or rejoices. Related Hebrew ron names song or joyful cry.

As a personal name, Ronen belongs chiefly to modern Hebrew and Israeli naming, rather than to a prominent biblical name tradition. It appears among Israeli public figures such as journalist Ronen Bergman and actor Ronen Rubinstein, and in North America it has gained some notice beside Ronan and Ronin. That resemblance can obscure the etymology: Irish Rónán is unrelated, built from rón seal plus the diminutive suffix -án, hence little seal.
