Ronaldinho is a nick name, basically meaning little Ronaldo. He first was called that when he started playing for Gremio, because you can't have 2 people both known as Ronaldo. Gaucho refers to where he is from in Brasil, Rio Grande de Sul, and also means cowboy in portugese. So there you go, little Ronaldo from Rio Grande de Sul. Ronaldinho Gaucho.
