The placename is either suggested to be a hydronym of Vasconic origin (from Erraka, 'creek') or derived from Arabic Rakab, via archaic latinized variant Requas.[2]

The village is sometimes referred to as La pequeña Mali ('Little Mali') owing to the substantial share of the population with origins in Mali.[3][4]
