During the planning and construction stages, the station was named Ningnandadao station (宁南大道站; 寧南大道站; Níngnándàdào Zhàn; 'Ning (Nanjing) south avenue station') until around May 2009, when the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs (南京市民政部) approved a name change of both the eponymous avenue and station to the present names,[3] in order to increase the name recognition of Yuhua Software Park (雨花软件园).[3]
