Roni

רוֹנִי

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Jew-ish
• Meaning: joyful song

• In Hebrew, Roni translates to my joy or my song, making it one of the most personally expressive names a parent can choose. It is short, bright, and full of energy — the kind of name that suits a kid who lights up every room. In Israel it has been a beloved choice for decades, equally at home on boys and girls.

  Israeli singer Roni Dalumi became the youngest winner of Kochav Nolad, Israel's version of American Idol, at just seventeen years old. That upbeat, approachable energy makes Roni an instant favorite at every stage of life. It feels youthful without being juvenile, and its unisex appeal in Israel gives it a modern, boundary-free quality. A name that literally translates to my joy — sometimes the most beautiful gift is also the simplest one.
