Hmm, I think that in Croatia an Serbia this name would be spelled Ratka, there is also a male variant of this (Ratko). So, maybe Ratka or her parents come from exYugoslavia.
If you take it in this original form: rat means war in croatian/serbian. But that is probably not the true meaning of this name as it originates from the word radost=joy.
