Menurut Dosen Sejarah FKIP Unsyiah, Rusdi Sufi; alasan mengapa disebut ‘simpang mesra’ adalah karena simpang tersebut memiliki lengkungan putaran yang sangat melengkung, sehingga apabila ada kendaraan yang melintas (sepeda motor) misalnya, apabila ada yang dibonceng, maka ia harus berpegangan atau bersandar kepada pengemudi agar tidak jatuh. Singkatnya, setiap pasangan pengendara yang melintasi jalan tersebut dijadikan ‘mesra’ sesaat karena desakan keadaan.

Istilah Simpang Mesra menjadi sangat familiar sejak sekitar tahun 80-an. Padahal di persimpangan ini terdapat tugu tentara pelajar setinggi 17 meter dengan diameter bawah 45 meter dengan pondasi corak seperti kubus di dindingnya.
