History & Origin

Ronae is part of the inventive naming tradition in African-American communities, where prefixes like Ro-, La- and Sha- were joined to bright endings such as -nae. Through that Renae and Renee echo it carries the Latin sense of 'reborn,' while the full name is a modern, melodic creation.

Ronae clustered around the 1970s through the 1990s and stayed rare throughout. A woman named Ronae from its peak would be in her late twenties or thirties today, a Millennial with a coined, musical name.
