What does the name Ronny mean?

Ronny is predominantly used as a masculine first name and is an independent pet form of Ronald or the Old Norse Rögnvaldr. The less common feminine form, on the other hand, originates as a diminutive of Veronika. Ronald is composed of the Old Norse elements regin for "the counsel" or "the decision" and valdr for "the ruler," leading to the meanings "the one with the strength of the gods" and "the counsel of the ruler." Veronika, on the other hand, derives from the Ancient Greek elements pherein (to carry, to bring) and nike (victory), resulting in the meaning "the victorious one." The old Norse name Ronald and the German name Reinhold share a common Germanic origin. Particularly in East Germany, the masculine form was very popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Other variants of the name include Ronnie, Ronni, Ronee, Ronnee, and Ronney.
