Named after the rue de Sèvres and the rue Lecourbe.
The rue Lecourbe continues the rue de Sèvres along a Roman road towards Sèvres; it honours General Claude Jacques Lecourbe (1759–1815), who fought at Fleurus and Zurich. The station opened in 1906 as Avenue de Suffren, became Rue de Sèvres in 1907 and Sèvres – Lecourbe in 1913.
