Orgin of names.
I like to think I made up the following names. I would like to know the origin if it is not from me. Can you help?
Krishaun, Ryah.Also Ronell is the name of my oldest. I have met Ronell's much older that my son. However, I would love to know it's origin for Ronell. I came up with the name by changing "J" to a "R" in my mothers name and dropping the "e" on the end of her name as well.

RonellYou've got a son called Ronell, eh? Well, well. Please advise him not to travel to South Africa if he's at all sensitive - Ronell and Ronel are widely used here for women, as a short form of Petronella. For aught I know, the same could well apply in the Netherlands as well. For your purposes, it might well have been wiser to call him Ronald, but no doubt it's too late now.

Krishaun is probably a kre8tyv spelling of Christian.
