I think there needs to be a Rona (3) as this is used in Scotland quite regularly (not super common, though) like other Scottish island names such as Iona or Islay.Comes from Scottish Gaelic Rònaigh, originally of Old Norse origin, from Hraun-eyer meaning "rough islands".
In Scotland Rona is sometimes used as a diminutive of Veronica in place of Vera.
My name is Rona, and I was not named as a derivitive of Rhona. I am named after a small island west of Scotland near Skye where my father was Fishing when I was born. I have been told the name is based on an old Norweigian name roughly translated as "Isle of Seals". This also ties in with the Manx place name Gob ny rona, which means "Point Of Seals".
The name Rona means "meadow" in Hungarian.
The Hungarian word "róna" means "plain", not "meadow." "Meadow" is "rit."
In Gaelic, the name Rona means "covenant" or "oath."
