ArchivesRe: What is the meaning of the Russian female first name Ronja?
in reply to a message by Lassia
Hi,
it's true, that Astrid Lindgren picked the name from the name "Juronjaure" which is a lake in Lappland. But Ronja can even be short for Veronica in Russia. I found one more meaning: Ronyah being a Hebrew name meaning God's happiness:

(look for the month of April)
