### Etymology

Coined by Astrid Lindgren for the heroine of the children's book Ronja rövardotter (1981) by taking the middle letters of Juronjaure, the Sami name of a lake in north Sweden, said to mean "lake by a hill". Lindgren was obviously looking for something that sounded familiar, like Sonja, a well established name in Sweden by 1981. Роня is a Russian pet form of several male and female given names, but the name Ronja was very rare in Scandinavia and Germany until 1981.
