Nickname for Ronald or Ron.

Where "Ronno" Comes From
Ronald or Ron gets the "-o" ending with a doubled "n," giving it a slightly heavier, more emphatic sound than a plain "Rono" would have.
The doubled consonant is a common feature across the Aussie nickname system, the same trick behind names like Kevvo and Jonno.
How Aussies Actually Use It
A casual, reliable nickname for a Ronald or Ron, used by mates and neighbours the same way you'd mention any bloke who's handy around the house.
It pairs naturally with phrases like "no worries," fitting the practical, easygoing character it usually describes.
