Ronja as a Hebrew name

It is true: RONIYA (Resh-Waw-Nun-Yud-He) is a Hebrew name, an elaboration of RONI (my joy, song). It can be interpreted as "G-d's song/joy." (Smadar Shir Sidi: The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names). The Hebrew verbal stem RNN means "shout out loud, cheer, rejoice, praise."

No, these are just the consonants. To get the exact spelling in Hebrew, you list the consonants. The pronunciation is Roh-nee-YAH, with the stress on the last syllable.
