The suburb is situated on part of an old Witwatersrand farm called Doornfontein.[2] The region of Benrose was named by the property developer Robert Horowitz, whose mother's name was Rose and who had been murdered during The Holocaust.[2] It means "son of Rose" in Hebrew. The suburb was proclaimed in June 1952.[2]
