The name of the club was adopted by the founders who were searching for a name with the characteristics of being a Uruguayan club, but not of extreme fame like Peñarol or Nacional, and in honour to Centro Atlético Fenix, a Uruguayan institution founded in July 1916, the name was adopted and the club baptised as Fenix.
