The settlement here used to be called Faxin Village, named after the two dominant families, Fa (法) and Xin (信), within the region. During the Ming dynasty, many villagers moved north and established another Faxin Village, so this region was renamed Nanfaxin (Chinese: 南法信; lit. 'South Faxin') to avoid confusion.[2]
