Ronaldo

US Popularity Rank: 4016

Origin: Norse

Meaning: ruler's counselor

Meaning "ruler's counselor," baby Ronaldo can feel encouraged to be a supportive presence in the lives of the people around him. This name comes from the Old Norse name Ronald, which is also related to Reginald and Reynold. Ronaldo, though, is a Spanish twist on the traditional name. Although it has an encouraging meaning, baby might feel most inspired by who uses it as a surname—legendary soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.
