The commune lent its name to the Cernica Monastery, an early 17th-century Orthodox monastery in the nearby town of Pantelimon. The name is also given to the Cernica Forest, the largest wooded area around Bucharest.

The name of the commune is derived from the name of the vornic Cernica Știrbei and is of Slavic origin, meaning "black".
