Ronnie is a diminutive of a masculine and feminine given name with different meanings: Derived from Veronica, it means ‘bringing victory’, from Ronald, it stands for ‘counsel ruler’.
Ronnie is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
The name Ronnie isn’t among the current fashionable names in our top 10 stats, but nonetheless, it’s still very popular and common. In our SmartGenius ranking of all boys names, Ronnie ranks 790.

Who would have thought it? After many years of not appearing at all in the SmartGenius statistics, Ronnie reached its highest rank ever in the year 1946 at #52. In other words: 5,978 newborn boys were named Ronnie that year. Since then, it has been considered to be a universally popular name, chosen by a large number of happy parents every year. Although the times of its highest popularity are now many decades ago, Ronnie is still going strong and has not been forgotten yet. We can only wait and see if there will be a new surprise in store and if Ronnie will be able to top its all-time best ranking ever again.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is quite common as an initial letter for boys’ names. To be precise, 5.2% of all boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With six letters, the name Ronnie is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 5.2% of all boys' names start with R, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with an R, Robert is the most common.

In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
