Names and etymology
Template:MOS The first written mention of Vrakuňa was in 1279 as a village named Werekne. Some other recorded medieval names are Verekene (1290), Frecendorf (1297), Verekuna (1323), Oluerekenye (1356), Berekenye in theutonico Fratedorf (1393) or Vraknye (1459).
The name is probably derived from a Proto-Slavic appelative *vrakunъ, potentially reflecting Pre-Christian (pagan) rituals. The stem vra- means "to speak without making any sense", vrakúň – a wizzard, preserved in Russian as вракун/vrakun – a liar, a gossip).[1][2] Lajos Kiss (1988) tried to drive the name from Proto-Slavic *vir- (a whirl). Šimon Ondruš (1990) from Proto-Slavic *vorkъ (in East Slavic languages: vorok - a fence, a barrier) like Vorkonъ, Vorkunovka and other similar names,[3] but documented only for the East Slavs.
History
Vrakuňa became an official borough of Bratislava on January 1, 1972.
