    Ronin is a masculine name of Japanese and Irish origin. This deeply
    historic name tracks all the way back to feudal Japan, where rōnin
    referred to a master-less samurai.



    Rónán, anglicised as Ronan, is an Irish and Breton male given name and surname.

    I'm not sure the Japanese had much input into Gaelic names?
    There again, I didn't know there was a white slave trade,
    with Barbary pirates selling Icelanders into slavery.

    I am not aware of Ronin as an Irish name. (43 years old, born and raised and currently living in Ireland.) Ronan is a normal Irish male name.

    Rónán is not an Irish surname. Ó Rónáin are an Irish surname.

    "The Irish Times" reported that Japan wanted to check a spelling de an
    Irish name de a child who migranted de Ireland to Japan. A friend residing
    in Sweden said that the normal Swedish word that is tjenare has a Japanese etymology.

    does not agree.

    Is mogh mé.

    wiki: "Ólafur Egilsson (1564 – 1 March 1639) was an Icelandic
    Lutheran minister. In 1627, he was abducted, along with his
    wife and two sons, by Barbary Pirates under the Ottoman Empire
    during their raid on Vestmannaeyjar. The raid is known in
    Icelandic history as Tyrkjaránið (The Turkish abductions). He
    returned to Vestmannaeyjar in 1628 but his wife Ásta
    Þorsteinsdóttir did not return until 1637 and his sons never
    returned"
