Renegade is an unconventional and unique name of modern origin, often attributed to parents seeking distinctive appellations for their children. It's derived from the word 'renegade,' which originally meant 'deserter' but has evolved to signify someone who defies conventions or rebels against authority. While it may not adhere to traditional naming practices, Renegade stands out as a bold and individualistic choice.
