With ties to cultures across Europe, this girl's name has widespread appeal. Ronna can be used as a variant of the Old Norse name Rona, which means "rough island," and is perfect for fostering independence and inner strength. A calmer yet equally powerful meaning is found in "strong counsel," which comes from the Old English name Ronni. To really capture the feeling that your little one is a multifaceted being, there's a third meaning of "true image" when you use Ronna as a version of the Latin Veronica.
