The Hawaiian Station Name Working Group proposed Hawaiian names for the twelve rail stations on the eastern end of the rail system (stations in the Airport and City Center segments) in April 2019.[2][3] The name of this station, Kūwili, means "water swirling in place" and refers to a parcel of land in the Honolulu ahupuaʻa that contained a large fishpond watered by Leleo Stream.[4]
