Rona is a girl's name of Norse origin. A popular choice throughout Scotland, it means "rough island" and "seal island." It also has Hebrew roots from the masculine moniker Ron, signifying “song” or joy.” Rona shares its name with a remote Scottish island in the North Atlantic. This isolated isle may have been named to honor Saint Ronan's residence there or after the rough waves crashing onto its shores. While the saying states that no person is an island, baby Rona may be encouraged to harness their power and independence to weather life's storms.
