During the planning and construction of the railway, the station was referred to by the interim name Tropicana. Before the line entered service, however, it was officially renamed BU11 LRT Station to better reflect the locality that it serves. The name also distinguishes it from the future Tropicana LRT Station farther along the line, which is expected to open in 2031.3
