A name borrowed from a centuries-old temple.
Wanhe Junior High was established in 1993, with its first classes beginning in 1995. The school was initially slated to be named “Yongchun Junior High” before it was renamed Wanhe — after Wanhe Temple (萬和宮), South Nantun's storied Mazu temple dating back to 1684, which anchors the historic Litoudian (犁頭店) old street nearby.
萬和國中創立於民國82年（1993年），1995年正式開班授課。學校原本預定命名為「永春國中」，後改名為「萬和」——取自南屯歷史悠久的媽祖廟萬和宮（建於1684年），該廟緊鄰南屯犁頭店老街聚落。
