Jalan Hang Jebat was originally known as Davidson Road. It was named after James Guthrie Davidson, who served as the first British Resident of Perak in 1875, and as British Resident of Perak from 11 April 1876 to 31 March 1877, following the assassination of J.W.W. Birch.
The road was then changed to Jalan Hang Jebat, a long time friend and comrade of Hang Tuah, the Malay warrior according to Hikayat Hang Tuah.
