Where the name comes from

A place or district

Bulevardul Laminorului, the boulevard the station stands on.

In the plans the station was called Laromet, like the LAROMET works ("LAminoarele ROmânești de METale", Romanian Metal Rolling Mills), founded on 12 March 1938. In July 2009, before it opened, Metrorex renamed it after the boulevard it is built on.
