The name Boronów originates from the coniferous forests (pl "bory") in the area or from the surname "Boronowski", who was one of owners of this village. In old chronicles the names "Borunow" and "Bornów" are found. But on the herb of Boronów there is a harrow, because it was a sign on the old village's stamp.
