History & Origin
Rondale is a coinage that fits Ron, from Ronald (Old Norse Rognvaldr, 'ruler's advisor'), to a -dale ending (from the word for a valley, also seen in Rondell). Coinages like it spread among African American families from the 1960s and 1970s. Rondale appears in United States records from around 1970 and reached a small high around 1979.
A boy named Rondale then would be in his forties now. It reads as a solid, of-its-era coinage and has not revived, though its Ron- opening and firm -dale ending keep it easy to say and remember.
