Origin: Romanian
Other Origin(s): Greek
Meaning: Ray of light; Hera's glory
Raluca is a feminine name of Romanian origin that can match baby’s dazzling, mystical spirit. While it can translate to “ray of light,” it can also come from the Greek name Heracleia, meaning “Hera’s glory.” This makes it a one-of-a-kind way to connect baby to the Greek demigod Heracles—who’s maybe better known as Hercules—who was known for his massive strength and heroic adventures. Since a number of athletes have held the name Raluca over the years, it’s sure to give baby plenty of strong, athletic inspiration.
