Ronella, of Latin origin, translates to 'little seal'. This unique name is derived from the Latin word 'rōnāris', meaning 'of a seal'. It gained popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages and has since been used as both a given name and a surname. Notably, it was the name chosen by Dutch parents for their daughter in the 1960s, contributing to its current recognition.
"The name Ronella appears to have been relatively popular in the early to mid-20th century, with a notable peak in births in 1928 and a steady decline thereafter."
