Kheam Hock Road was given its name in 1923. It was named after Tan Kheam Hock (1862-1922)1, the son of a merchant from Penang, Tan Teng Pong. The younger Tan served as Justice of Peace as well as Municipal Commissioner. It was through his effort that the Bukit Brown Cemetery was established in 1922.
