La place rend hommage aux Chasseurs ardennais, unité d'élite de l'Armée belge constituée sous le règne de Léopold III en 1933. Cependant, la place recevra ce toponyme en 1946, en hommage à la bonne réputation que s'est faite cette unité durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. (remark in French, as published)
