I used to think bash RC is for Remote Control.

RC files were remote control files for m. I am pretty sure, I can't be the only one who asssumed that.

Would be my first association as well, from things like RC cars and RC planes. Doesn't really make sense in this context, though (but run commands sounds a little bit of as well; something like configuration commands would've sounded better in my opinion).
