Where the name comes from

A square

Piața Iancului and the Iancului district in which the station stands.

The station lies in Piața Iancului, at the western end of Șoseaua Iancului, the main road of the district of the same name. An unsupported account links the name 'Iancu' to the revolutionary Avram Iancu and dates the district's name to the communist period.
