原The name Raluca is a Latinized diminutive of the Greek name "Rallou". Rallou is a relatively rare form of the Greek name Heraclea (or Heracleia), which arose from Heracleia (an ancient festival honoring Heracles, aka Hercules in Anglicized usage). Alternatively, Heracleia may have older roots and have its origin from the name of Hera who was Zeus's wife in Greek mythology.
The name Rallou entered Romanian culture with a Greek actress, daughter of a Wallachian prince, by the name of Rallou Caragea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domni%C8%9Ba_Rallou_Caragea). Wallachia was one of the three small kingdoms that were united at various times in history and eventually became Romania (Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia).
In Romanian language (which is a Romantic, Latin-based language with heavy Turkish influence), name diminutives often end in -ita (ie/ Doina, Doinita), or -ca (Mihai (Michael), Mitica). Raluca began as Rallou-ca and eventually became Latin-ized into Raluca. In fact, in common usage, a variant of Raluca is Ralu (latinized version of the Greek Rallou).
原The likelihood that the Romanian women's name "Raluca" stems from the Church Slavonic "рало" [ralo], meaning "plow", is slim at best. Romanians are not known for giving first names based on tools or other inanimate man-made objects, agricultural in particular. Whenever cases of tools or occupations appear in names, those come in as last names with a masculine form, denoting occupations (e.g. Plugaru would mean "ploughman", Rotaru - "wheelwright", Moraru - "miller", etc.). Women's names are most often adapted versions of common Hebrew/Biblical, Greek, or Western/Latin given names, and sometimes Romanian words related to beauty (e.g. Brandusa - crocus, Oteea - linden tree, Sorina - sunny, Doina - song, Smaranda - emerald). The early records of people bearing the name was of princesses and noble folk in general, and a lot of them in that era had connections to the Greek Phanariotes. This should give extra credibility to the Greek origins enumerated above.
Raluca could also stem from relūceō, a verb in Latin derived from luceo/lucere. The name can then mean "bright, shining" - see "relucent" for a form that made it into English. The name could thus be a survivor from the Roman occupation (less probable) or reintroduced by romanticists (more so).
A similar sounding word is "naluca" (ghost, hallucination), from naluci/nalucire. Although one letter and two sounds different, this could never be adopted by any Romanian as a given name.
原This name most certainly has nothing to do with the Ancient Egyptian god Ra. Raduga has nothing to do with Ra either, it's derived from the Proto-Germanic *regnabugô, (regnaz - water, moisture and bugô - bow), and Radost is from the Proto-Slavic *radostь, nothing to do with Ra either. This name being derived from a long dead god from a distant land is highly improbable.
Ralu means plough in Serbo-Croatian and Slovene and has origins in the Proto-Slavic *ordlo 'plough'. Raz is from Proto-Slavic *rъžь 'rye'. There is no Latin 'raz' at all. Lus, however, is correct. It's Romagnol for 'light', from the Latin lucem or lux 'light'.
The most likely etymology would probably be ralu 'plough', as explained above, and possibly úcha 'to learn, to study, to teach' in Bulgarian, likely from a similar Proto-Slavic source. Or it's possibly from the suffix *-uca, found in Romanian words.
The most probably source of the name however, is from the users who mention the Princess Ralu. Raluca being a pet form of Ralu is most likely. Ralu most likely derived from the Slavic word ralu/ralo meaning 'plough'. [noted -ed]
Either way the site can't update the name with the meaning because all of this is just guesswork by random people, not anyone educated in linguistics or etymology. BTN isn't a baby name site that just picks a meaning, it strives to be accurate.
原The name "Raluca" is directly etymologizable in Slavic languages, Russian in particular. It consists of two words "Ra"+"luca", pronounced as "rah-luch", Ra is the Sun, and the name of god, and luca - is "luch" (Rus.), ray. Thus the meaning of Raluca is "ray of the Sun", and metaphorically "ray of light". Compare with other Slavic words - Raduga, rainbow, the bow of Ra, Radost', happiness, the abundance of Ra. As such, Raluca is probably of Indo-European origin, as it is not common in the Slavic languages, it was probably borrowed by the Greeks and Romans a while ago.
原The name first appeared in the 18th century, it was worn by a famous Romanian princess called domnita Ralu. Hence, the form 'Raluca' is actually the diminutive of the name and not the other way around as it is perceived today. The name 'Ralu' comes from Late Latin, 'raz' (ray) and 'lus' (light) meaning 'ray of light'.
原Raluca - Sunlight, The light of the sun Ra - The Egyptian Sun God Luca - derived from the Latin word lux (, -cis)= light, is the feminine form for Lucius. At the same time,"Luca" can be derived from the Greek word "Loukas". The meaning of Loukas is "from Lucania". Lucania was the ancient name of an area of Italy (today known as Basilicata). This name is the source form of Luke, Lucas, Luca.
原It's a Romanian name with Greek origins which means "Glory to Ralle" (Ralle + kleos). Ralle being a hypocorism for Hera the meaning would be "Glory to Hera".
原"Raluca" is composed of 2 words: "Ra" and "Luca". Ra refers to the Egyptian sun god, while "Luca" is the translation of Luke (St Luke). The name Raluca could be of Coptic origin.

不，它不发音rah-luw-tsa。它发音为rah-LOU-kah。
原No, it's not pronounced rah-luw-tsa. It's pronounced rah-LOU-kah.
原I also heard that it is from Herakleios. And I found this on a comment on someone's blog who claims they read this in a book they forgot the name of in a now-nonexistant library. It is possible but still.
原Raluca means "field with birds" and it comes from Old English. The person who wears it is joyful and changes her mind very often. She is like an explosion of light and colours.

译 名称Raluca是拉丁化的希腊名字“Rallou”的缩写。 Rallou是希腊名称Heraclea（或Heracleia）的一个相对罕见的形式，从Heracleia（一个尊敬Heracles，aka大力神在Anglicized使用的古节日）。或者，Heracleia可能有更老的根，并且它的起源从Hera的名字是宙斯的希腊神话的妻子。名字Rallou与一个希腊女演员，一个瓦拉几亚王子的女儿，以Rallou Caragea的名字（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domni%C8%9Ba_Rallou_Caragea）进入罗马尼亚文化。瓦拉几亚是在历史上不同时期联合起来的三个小王国之一，最终成为罗马尼亚（特兰西瓦尼亚，摩尔多瓦和瓦拉几亚）。在罗马尼亚语（这是一种浪漫的，基于拉丁语的重土耳其语影响的语言） （即/ Doina，Doinita）或-ca（Mihai（Michael），Mitica）。 Raluca开始为Rallou-ca，最终成为拉丁语化成Raluca。事实上，在通常使用中，Raluca的变体是Ralu（希腊语Rallou的拉丁版本）。因此，名称本身的含义可以追溯到Heraclea（http://www.behindthename.com/name/heraclea/提交）或Heracleia（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleia_(festival），有更古老的根源，名称赫拉克勒斯，也许甚至Hera（http://www.behindthename.com/name/hera)Please改变名称的含义以反映这一点。

译 罗马尼亚妇女的名字“Raluca”源自教会斯拉夫语“рало”[ralo]，意思是“犁”的可能性，最好是苗条。罗马尼亚人不知道以工具或其他无生命的人造物品，特别是农业为名，给予名字。每当工具或职业的名字出现在名字中，那些名字以男性形式出现，表示职业（例如，Plugaru将意味着“犁耙”，Rotaru - “车轮”，Moraru - “米勒”等）。妇女的名字是最常见的希伯来语/圣经，希腊语，西方/拉丁语给定的名字的修改版本，有时罗马尼亚语与美有关（例如Brandusa - 番红花，Oteea - 菩提树，Sorina阳光明媚，Doina歌曲，Smaranda - 翠）。有名的人的早期记录是一般的公主和高尚民间，并且许多人在那个时代有与希腊Phanariotes的连接。这应该给上面列举的希腊语起源额外的可信度。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Raluca也可以源自relūceō，拉丁语中的一个动词源自luceo / lucere。该名称可以意味着“明亮，闪亮” - 看到“半透明”的形式，使其成英语。因此，这个名字可能是罗马职业（不太可能）的幸存者或浪漫主义者（更多）重新引入的幸存者。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e类似的声音词是来自nalucci / nalucire的“naluca”（鬼魂，幻觉）。虽然一个字母和两个声音不同，这不可能被任何罗马尼亚语作为一个给定的名称。

译 名称“Raluca”可直接在斯拉夫语言，特别是俄语。它包括两个单词“Ra”+“luca”，发音为“rah-luch”，Ra是太阳，上帝的名字，luca是“luch”（Rus。因此，Raluca的意思是“太阳的光芒”，和比喻的“光线”。与其他斯拉夫语 - Raduga，彩虹，Ra的弓，Radost'，幸福，Ra的丰度比较。因此，Raluca可能是印欧语的，因为它在斯拉夫语中并不常见，它可能是由希腊人和罗马人借用的。
