Ronna is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Ronna is a modern English feminine given name with multiple roots. It functions as a feminine elaboration of Ron (from Ronald, ultimately Old Norse Rögnvaldr: regin “advice, decision of the gods” + valdr “ruler”), yielding the sense “ruler’s advisor” or “powerful counselor.” It also aligns with Scottish Rhona/Rona, names linked to the Hebridean island Rona, and in Jewish usage it parallels Hebrew Rona/Roni (rona, “joyful song, rejoicing”), giving Ronna an alternate meaning of “joyous song.”

The name came into wider use in the mid-20th-century Anglosphere, particularly in the United States, where it enjoyed modest popularity before declining; it remains familiar through bearers such as political figure Ronna McDaniel. Variants and related forms include Rona, Rhona, Roni, Ronni/Ronnie, and Ronette; short forms are often Roni/Ronnie. Because of its blended origins, Ronna feels both briskly modern and gently traditional, suitable for families seeking a compact, approachable alternative to Rhona or Veronica.
