Before 1992, the station was officially named as Guramishvili (Georgian: გურამიშვილი), after the 18th-century Georgian poet David Guramishvili. After 1992, the name of the station was transferred to neighbouring station Guramishvili, pre-1992 known as TEMKA. This is alongside Gotsiridze, one of the occasions when the name of the station changed and previous name transferred to another station.
