Meaning:Ruler's counselor
Meaning "ruler's counselor," baby Ronaldo can feel encouraged to be a supportive presence in the lives of those around them. This masculine title comes from the Old Norse name Ragnvaldr, which is also related to Reynold and Ronald. Ronaldo offers a Spanish and Portuguese twist on all these monikers! Although Ronaldo has an encouraging meaning, baby might feel most inspired by someone who uses it as a last name—legendary soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.
