Ronda Origin and Meaning

The name Ronda is a girl's name.

Ronda is a feminine name with Spanish geographical origins, inspired by the ancient city of Ronda in southern Spain, known for its dramatic cliffs and gorges. The name gained notable popularity in America during the 1960s and 1970s, often as a variation of Rhonda, which derived from the Welsh 'rhon' meaning 'spear' or 'lance.' Ronda peaked in popularity during this era and has gradually declined since. The name carries associations of strength and natural beauty, reflecting its geographical namesake. Its simple pronunciation and spelling make it accessible, while its slightly vintage quality now gives it a distinctive character. Notable bearers include American judoka and mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey, who brought renewed attention to the name in recent years.
