The name, (BARA)nivka, from the old Slavic language means swamp, and from eastern Slavic, (BARAN)ivka, -- an ovis. The Slavic meaning of the word is given not coincidentally as the town is located in close proximity to the Prypiat marshes.
In Zhytomyr Oblast, between Novohrad-Volynskyi and Korosten, there is another small town of Barashi, about 50 km northeast from Baranivka.
