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



    R||n|in, 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.

    wiki: "|olafur Egilsson (1564 rCo 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 Tyrkjar|ini|# (The Turkish abductions). He
    returned to Vestmannaeyjar in 1628 but his wife |Usta
    |Rorsteinsd||ttir did not return until 1637 and his sons never
    returned"
