Ronni

Girl name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ronni: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2016.

Ronni is a modern variant of Ronnie, typically a diminutive of Veronica, which comes from the Latin *vera icon* meaning "true image." It can also serve as a feminine form of Ronald, rooted in the Old Norse *Rögnvaldr* ("ruler's counsel"). Among notable bearers is Scottish comedian and impressionist Ronni Ancona, known for her sharp character work, as well as American publicist Ronni Chasen, a respected figure in Hollywood. While no major places are directly named after a Ronni, the spelling gained traction in the 20th century as a distinct, friendly alternative to the more common Ronnie. In Scotland, the name has appeared steadily on birth registrations since the 1970s, often chosen for its approachable charm and its dual heritage linking it to both Veronica and Ronald.
