What Does the Name Roni Mean?
Roni is a Hebrew name commonly explained as "my joy," with the related sense of joyful song or rejoicing.

"Song of joy" is a looser rendering rather than a strictly literal translation. The same spelling is also used in English as a nickname form of Veronica or Ronald and in Finnish as a masculine name corresponding to English Ronnie; those uses belong to separate naming traditions.
