- Source: Ronja (given name)
Ronja is a feminine given name in use largely in Scandinavian countries. It became widely known when the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren wrote her 1981 children's book Ronja Rövardotter. In the English translation of the book the name was translated as Ronia. It may also be translated as Ronya.
It is also the Swedish rendering of the Russian diminutive Роня for Veronica.
Very few people were given this name in Scandinavian countries prior to 1981. In Finland, Ronja has been used as a first name as early as the 1920s.
It was the third most popular name given to baby girls born in the Faroe Islands in 2008 and is also rising in popularity in other Scandinavian countries.
