Etymology
In most cases rak (“crayfish”) + -ów. The name of the most notable village and its namesake commune (sense #2), in Kielce County, comes from Warnia, a Polish coat of arms depicting a crayfish, adopted by the founder of the town Jan Sienieński from his wife Jadwiga Gnoińska. (See the Wikipedia article Polish heraldry for further explanation.)
