43.0. "R O N" by 52452::MAURO () Fri Sep 12 1986 17:12
RON
Our 19 months son is called Ron; this is an israeli name meaning
joy, or a wellcomed arrival. Its hebrew dimminutive is Roni, fairly
much used as an affective way for calling him, and its meaning is
'my joy', or 'my wellcomed arrival'.
The name is not uncommon at all (not tremendously popular,either)
here in Israel, and we can also find it on Spain ( but, as the local
translation for Rum, the well_known Caribean alcoholic beverage,
rather than a babyname. Anyways, we find it sweet, and our baby
does not seem to dislike it at all, till now.

| 43.1 | Long "o" or short "o"? | NCMWVX::BERNDT | Ron - ILLEGITIMUS NON CARBORUNDUM | Wed Oct 08 1986 19:29 | 6 |
| Is that pronounced with a "long" o or a "short" o ?
My name is Ronald (derived from Reginald) but I always go by Ron.
When I visit Italy they pronounce it with a long o, here in the
states we pronounce it with a short o. ;')

| 43.2 | short o | 52452::MAURO | | Tue Oct 14 1986 08:41 | 2 |
| It is pronounced with a short o. There would be a different letter
for it in Hebrew, if we wanted to pronounce it with a long o.

| I don't know if this counts for anything, but here goes:
In "La Morte D'Arthur" we are told, not only that Arthur's sword
is named Excalibur, but also that his spear's name is "Ron". Does
Ron have anything to do with power or, Heaven forbid, virility?
