Name and pictogram

The station logo depicts the head of an eagle.[2] The station, avenue, and borough were all named after the Aztec Emperor Cuauhtémoc, whose name means "descending eagle" in Nahuatl.[2] The station receives its name due to being located at the intersection of Avenida Chapultepec and Avenida Cuauhtémoc, in the limits of the Juárez, Roma Norte, Centro and Doctores neighborhoods.
