En 1915, la rue fut nommée ainsi d'après le peintre Alphonse Asselbergs (1839-1916) qui habitait la rue Joseph Bens mais dont l'arrière de sa propriété donna dans cette rue. Après son décès, il légua 100.000 francs ainsi que sa maison à la commune pour en faire un centre d'accueil pour enfants abandonnés. ex. rue Kersbeek (doublon) (remark in French, as published)
