This station is named for rue Jarry, which in turn commemorates Bernard Bleignier dit Jarry, who received a concession in 1700 that later became the village of Saint-Laurent. The street was built on land belonging to Stanislas Bleignier Jarry Sr. (patriarch), a descendant of Bernard Jarry, who was mayor of the village in 1907. Stanislas' son was Raoul Jarry.
