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 Maria Skłodowska-Curie as well on 8 March, International Women's Day. It thereby became the third station in the Métro named for a woman that is not a saint, after Marguerite de Rochechouart and Louise Michel.
