Ronny Origin and Meaning

The name Ronny is a boy's name.

Ronny is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive form of Ronald or Ron. Ronald derives from the Old Norse name Rögnvaldr, combining 'regin' (advice, decision) and 'valdr' (ruler), meaning 'ruler's counselor.' Ronny emerged as an affectionate nickname that eventually became used as an independent given name in English-speaking countries, particularly gaining popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. The name has a friendly, approachable quality with its 'y' ending giving it a youthful, casual feel. Ronny has been used for notable figures in sports and entertainment, contributing to its familiar yet distinct character. While its peak popularity has passed, it maintains a classic, unpretentious appeal that connects to mid-century naming traditions.
