Ronan

Ronan is a name of Irish origins and the meaning of Ronan is ‘little seal’. It is a name traditionally given to boys and is taken from an Irish legend. In the legend, a mother seal tells her children to be careful to never stray too close to the land because of the humans. However, she gets trapped in human form when she is swept ashore by a huge wave. She has to live the life of a fisherman’s wife and bear his children, so she calls her children ‘ronans’, which meant ‘little seal’. Ronan is a name that has been given to twelve saints throughout history including St. Ronan of Locronan, St. Ronan of Ulster and St. Ronan of Iona. It is a derivative of the Hebrew name Ron, which means ‘song of joy’. In the classic ‘Harry Potter’ series, Ronan is the centaur who lives in the Forbidden Forest. The name can also be used as a surname, as seen with the young, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. In Japanese, Ronan means a ‘drifter’ or a ‘wanderer’. In the feudal period of Japan, Ronan was the Samurai who was left without a master or lord. In Old German, this name also means a ‘well advised ruler’.
