What is the meaning of the name Farruca ?

The baby name Farruca is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced fah-ROO-kah (Spanish: /faˈruka/).

Farruca is Arabic, Spanish in Origin.

Farruca is a rare Spanish feminine name rooted in Andalusian usage and flamenco culture, serving as the counterpart to Farruco. The word farruca names a solemn 4/4 flamenco palo believed to have reached Andalusia from Spain’s northwest (often linked to Galicia). In Andalusian colloquial Spanish, farruco has meant “Galician man” and also “bold, cocky, defiant,” both senses feeding the name’s nuance. Thus Farruca can suggest “the Galician woman” or a spirited, strong-willed character.

As a given name it is uncommon in civil records, but it has notable artistic currency: La Farruca (Rosario Montoya Manzano) is a celebrated flamenco dancer, and El Farruco and Farruquito are famous masculine counterparts in the same dynasty. Variants and related forms include Farruco (m.), Farru (nickname), Farruquita/Farruquito (diminutives/stage names), and the contemporary spellings Farruka/Farruko in pop contexts.
