The station is named for the neighborhood it serves: San Pedro de los Pinos. During 17th and 18th century, several ranches and haciendas were established in this area, as well as a bartizan, the bartizan of San Pedro, which was in the middle of the route going from the center of Mexico City towards Mixcoac or San Ángel in the south. The soil here was very fertile, thus, having plenty of groves, mainly pines. Hence the name San Pedro de los Pinos.[2]
Therefore, the station's pictogram features a silhouette of two pine trees, as "pinos" means pines in Spanish.[2][3]
