It was previously known as Pierre Curie. Following a renovation completed on 31 January 2007, it was renamed to honour his wife and fellow Nobel laureate Marie Curie (Maria Skłodowska-Curie) as well on 8 March, International Women's Day. It thereby became the third station on the métro named for a woman that is not a saint, after Marguerite de Rochechouart and Louise Michel.
