It is named after the famous pilot and polar explorer Mikhail Babushkin, who was born in this area. Prior to renaming in 1939, the region was known as Bordino. In 1960 it was incorporated into Moscow and became an urbanized area. Many streets and landmarks in Babushkinsky, as well as the neighboring districts of Losinoostrovsky and Yaroslavsky are named in honor of various polar explorers.
