The station name was originally planned as Kosino-Ukhtomsky, after the Kosino-Ukhtomsky District in Moscow. In 2014, the municipal committee responsible for naming public buildings decided on Lyuberetsky.[3] In February, the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, issued a decree to name the station Lukhmanovskaya.[4] The name comes from Lukhmanovskaya Street, which in turn, is named for Dmitry Lukhmanov, a 19th-century Russian merchant.
