Raluca (pronounced raˈluka) is a common Romanian female given name. It's meaning is uncertain, however it is commonly believed to have originated from the Greek Rallou. Another belief is that it means "Glory to Ralle" (Ralle + kleos). Ralle being a hypocorism for Hera the meaning would be "Glory to Hera". Another interpretation is that the name is the combination of Ra (which is either a reference to the Egyptian Sun God or it could have originated from "radius, -ii" which means ray of light, ray in Latin) and Luca, derived from the Latin word lux (, -cis) which means light, is the feminine form for Lucius. Consequently, Raluca would mean 'Ray of the Sun's or 'sunlight'.
