The station's projected names were "Tecnológico" (after the nearby avenue) and "Tecnológico–Aeropuerto", as it is the closest to the Toluca International Airport. Alfredo Quiroz Fuentes, local congressman, requested to rename the station to "Árbol de la Vida", in reference to a traditional local artwork, to honor the municipal potter's work.
