Rača is a borough of Bratislava, Slovakia, in the Bratislava III district. The name probably comes from the Slavic personal name Radša/Radoslav or the Slavic stem vorč-/vrača. The name was adopted by Germans as Rechesdorf. The Germanized form had been used even by the Slovaks themselves, e.g., Račissdorf, Račištorf except for a short period in 1920 when the official name was Raslavice. In 1946, its original name Rača was restored.
