Xingqing was its name between 1033 and 1205. Between 1205 and 1288, it was known as Zhongxing Prefecture (Chinese: 中興府; pinyin: Zhōngxīngfǔ; Tangut: 𗤛𗼵𗥑) and between 1020 and 1033 as Xing Prefecture (興州; Xīngzhōu; Tangut: 𗼵𗉔).

The modern urban district Xingqing District in Yinchuan retains its name.
