History & Origin

Ronee is a stand-alone spelling of the pet name Ronnie, drawn from Veronica or Rhonda, or read as a variant of Renee, 'reborn'. Giving such short, breezy forms as legal first names was very much a mid-century American habit.

It never rose far, a few dozen girls a year around its high in 1976, with a thin tail into the 2000s. It sits near Roni, Ronnie and Renee.

Did you know? Ronee turns a nickname into a full name: the same friendly -ee ending that makes Ronnie also lets it stand cheerfully on a birth certificate.
