Ronny

Ronny is an English given name functioning as a diminutive or pet form of Ronald, which itself derives from the Old Norse name Rögnvaldr, composed of the elements regin, meaning counsel or decision, and valdr, meaning ruler or power. The name entered English-speaking cultures through Scandinavian and Scottish influence, becoming widespread across Britain and North America during the twentieth century. Ronny shares its roots with the variants Ronnie, Ron, and Reginald, the last being a Latinized parallel that carries the same core meaning of wise ruler.
