There was a Slavic settlement on the site of Bavoryně around 872, but it later disappeared. Bavoryně was then founded probably in the second half of the 11th century. The first written mention of Bavoryně is from 1088, under its old name Obryně. The name Bavoryně is used from the 13th century. From 1336 to 1437, the village was owned by the town of Beroun, then it was owned by various lower noblemen.
