Station name
The Sulwha Myeonggok Station is a name that combines the two names of Sulwha-ri and Myeonggok-ri.[note 1] In the case of Sulwha, there were many apricot trees growing in the village in the past. When spring comes, the apricot blossoms are like snowflakes, so they were called Sulwha. It was written as Seo (舌化), and it became the current narrative, and in the case of Myeonggok, the village was located in a valley and its shape was long and narrow like a home, so it was called Myeonggok.

Footnote
^There was a dispute over the name of the station before the station was created, and the residents of Sulwha-ri insisted that it should be called "Sulwha Station" because it is located in Sulwha-ri. He insisted that he should say "Myeonggok Station". When two villagers confronted each other over this station name, Daegu Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation finally named the station name as "Sulwha Myeonggok Station," which merged the two names using the arguments of both sides.
