Some other recorded medieval names are Verekene, Frecendorf, Verekuna, Oluerekenye, Berekenye in theutonico Fratedorf or Vraknye.The name is probably derived from a Proto-Slavic appelative *vrakunъ, potentially reflecting Pre-Christian. Lajos Kiss tried to drive the name from Proto-Slavic *vir-. Šimon Ondruš from Proto-Slavic *vorkъ like Vorkonъ, Vorkunovka and other similar names, but documented only for the East Slavs.
