Ronnie

Ronnie is a Germanic name originating as a pet form of Ronald, which derives from the Old Norse name Rögnvaldr, composed of the elements regin, meaning counsel or decision, and valdr, meaning ruler or power. It was carried into Scotland and northern England by Norse settlers and became widely used across the English-speaking world. Ronnie functions as an independent given name for both males and females and is also used as a diminutive of Veronica, a name of Greek and Latin origin meaning true image. Related forms include Ron, Ronald, and Rónán.
