The stadium's peculiar name comes from the presentation of the then-unnamed stadium's project to the newspaper Correio Popular with the title "Golden earring for the "princess", comparing the circular shape of the future stadium to an earring and making a pun with the nickname of the city of Campinas — Princesa D'Oeste (Princess of the West).
