Meaning & Origin of Ronja
Origin: Swedish (literary coinage).
A common claim: form of Veronica, meaning 'true image' Actually: Ronja is sometimes said to be a form of Veronica meaning 'true image', but it was coined by Astrid Lindgren as a character name in 1981 — the Veronica link is a mix-up with the separate, similarly-spelled name Ronya.
