Ronon is a modern given name, likely a spelling innovation shaped by the Irish Ronan (from Old Irish Rónán, "little seal") and the Hebrew Ronen ("song; joyous"). It is rare in historical records and appears chiefly in contemporary English-speaking contexts. Though phonetically close to Japanese ronin ("masterless samurai"), Ronon is etymologically unrelated to that term and is better treated as a crossover of Celtic and Hebrew name patterns.

Use of Ronon rose modestly in the 2000s, bolstered by the sci-fi character Ronon Dex from the series Stargate Atlantis. As a variant of Ronan/Ronen, its meanings are read as either "little seal" or "song; joy." Common cognates and near-variants include Ronan, Rónán, Ronen, and Ronin (sound-alike only). Nicknames such as Ron or Rone occur in casual use. Overall, Ronon offers a familiar sound with a distinctive, contemporary twist.
