Name

Varoš was attested in historical records as ''Warissen'' in 1220–30 and ''Waressendorf'' in 1271. Locally, the village is also known as ''Varož'' and ''Varška vas''. The name comes from the Slovene common noun ''varoš'' 'town', which was borrowed from Hungarian ''város'' 'town' (from Hungarian ''vár'' 'castle').
