[1] [a] The name was adopted by Germans as Rechesdorf (literally Rača's village, 1390).

The Germanized form had been used even by the Slovaks themselves, e.g., Račissdorf (1914), Račištorf (1920-1946) except for a short period in 1920 when the official name was Raslavice.

[2] Rača was mentioned for the first time in 1296 as a vineyard village under the name villa Racha.

In 1946, the village became a borough of Bratislava.
