Initially planned under the name Tai Kok Tsui during the 1990s Airport Core Programme, the station received its current name, Olympic, on 16 December 1996. This renaming paid tribute to Hong Kong athletes Lee Lai-shan, who earned the territory’s first Olympic gold medal in windsurfing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, along with Paralympians Cheung Yiu-cheung and Chiu Chung-lun, both of whom also achieved gold medals that year. The station's architectural elements incorporate motifs inspired by the 1996 Summer Olympics, aligning with its name.
