“遂宁”作为地名，始于东晋。东晋与十六国并存，而遂宁则属于十六国中的成汉国。当时，各国统治者之间连年混战，成汉国统治者内部也为争权夺位斗争不息，人民痛苦不堪。公元347年，东晋大将桓温伐蜀，大败李雄遗部李势，灭成汉国，结束了四川长达50多年的混战。当桓温凯旋，途经县境时，但见风和日丽，歌舞升平，一派和平安宁的气氛。这位长年征战沙场的将军感慨万端，一种厌恶战乱、渴望太平的思绪油然而生，因而在这里设郡，定郡名为“遂宁”，表示 “平息战乱，达到安宁”的意思。从此，川中丘陵中的这片红土地，便有了一个吉祥的名字——“遂宁”。历史上，遂宁曾以其深厚的文化底蕴、迷人的灵性山水和发达的农工商贸而成为川中政治、经济和文化中心，尤以纺织食品工业闻名，素有“小成都”、“东川巨邑”、“川中重镇”、“西部水都”之称。遂宁现有16张城市名片——全球绿色城市、中国城市公益慈善七星城市、国家级生态示范区、绿色经济示范城市、全国绿化模范城市、流通领域现代物流示范城市、国家园林城市、中国人居环境范例奖、国家卫生城市、中国金融生态市、中国优秀旅游城市、中国观音文化之乡、全国社会治安综合治理优秀市、曲艺之乡、诗酒之乡、书法之乡。"Suining" as a place name, began in the eastern jin.
