Where the name comes from
A person
The writer Tudor Arghezi (1880–1967).
Arghezi lived and wrote in Sector 4, on Strada Mărțișor, and the sector's council built the station. That link is the stated reason for a new park's name in the sector; the station's official rationale is not documented.
Other explanations
- popular explanation The station's name is tied to Arghezi's home on Strada Mărțișor in Sector 4. The source makes that link only for a new park in the sector, not for the station.
