Dalca is a Romanian surname with an uncertain meaning. The name may derive from Old Slavic or other regional linguistic influences, but no definitive etymology has been established. The surname Dalca is relatively rare and is found almost exclusively in Romania and among Romanian diaspora communities. It is not to be confused with the unrelated term "dalca," which refers to a type of canoe used by the Chonos and Huilliche peoples of southern Chile. The Hungarian place name Dalca (modern-day Dálov in Slovakia) also exists, but connection to the Romanian surname is speculative.
