A directional name from Fongshan's old county seat.
Fongxi Junior High was approved for establishment on December 19, 1970, and later became a Kaohsiung municipal school following the 2010 city-county merger. Its name, "鳳西" ("west of Fongshan"), is a directional place name relative to the historic Fongshan county seat, part of a broader pattern of compass-point school names found throughout the district.
鳳西國中於民國59年（1970年）12月19日奉准設立，2010年高雄縣市合併後改為市立學校。校名「鳳西」意指「鳳山以西」，是相對於鳳山舊縣治的方位地名，也是鳳山地區以方位命名學校的常見模式之一。
