Rondle is a rare given name in the United States, with its first recorded use in 1920. It reached its peak popularity in 1942, but even then it did not break into the top 1,000 names. Its trajectory has been essentially flat, with very sporadic usage over the decades. While the name's origins are uncertain, it likely derives from the more common Ronald or from an English surname. Given its obscurity, Rondle remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a mid-century feel.
Rondle is a rare given name most likely originating as a variant of Ronald, itself from the Old Norse Rǫgnvaldr (meaning 'ruler's counsel') via Scottish and English usage.
