The square is named after Victor Borge, who was born in nearby Classensgade.[1] Previously known informally as Hjertepladsen ("Heart Square"), it received its current name in October 2002, following Borge's death on 23 December 2000.[2] In celebration of Borge's centennial in 2009, a statue was erected on the square.[3]
