Etymology

Exterior of the station.

The name is believed to be taken from the name of Punggol Cove Residents' Committee (RC) located near the station. The station's Chinese name, "海湾", was initially the same as the proposed Chinese name for Bayfront MRT station. However, to avoid possible confusion between these two stations, it was later decided that the Chinese name for Bayfront station would be "海湾舫" instead.[2]
