Meaning: Ronson has the shape of a patronymic surname, 'son of Ron,' with Ron standing for Ronald.

History & Origin
Ronson is a patronymic-style name meaning 'son of Ron,' the Ron drawn from Ronald, whose Norse and Germanic parts are usually read as 'ruler' and 'counsel' or 'might.' Like Emerson and Bronson, it uses the -son ending to turn a familiar first name into a surname-flavored one.
It was never common, given to only around fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties, and it stayed rare. A boy named Ronson then is in his thirties today.
