The Story of Ronni
Ronni is a feminine spelling variant of Ronnie, itself a nickname for Ronald or Veronica. Ronald derives from the Old Norse Rögnvaldr meaning rulers counsel (from regin meaning counsel and valdr meaning ruler). Veronica comes from the Greek/Latin meaning true image or from the Hebrew Berenice meaning she who brings victory. Ronni became an independent feminine name in the mid-20th century.
Ronni and Ronnie peaked in the 1950s-70s as part of a wave of -ie/-y ending nicknames used as standalone names for girls (Billie, Frankie, Jimmie). It declined from peak use but has found new appeal as vintage names return to fashion.
Ronni fits the American tradition of giving girls versions of boys nicknames as independent feminine names — a pattern that goes back to the 1920s with names like Billie and Frankie and continues today with names like Frankie, Charlie, and Billie.
