Help[Facts] Re: origin of the name Ronin
in reply to a message by anela
In medieval Japan a ronin was a samurai that had no master. Ronins were looked down on by "regular" samurais, because Bushido (the code of honor) mandated that a samurai should be, among other things, loyal to his master. Thus being a ronin was a disgrace.
Or Ronin might be a variant of Ronan.
