For the editions of the Championships between 1989 and 2016, inclusive, the name of the Championships at the time of competition was FINA World Junior Artistic Swimming Championships, but following a name change of the sport from synchronised swimming to artistic swimming in 2017, which corresponded with a change in performance evaluation criteria, the name of the Championships at the time of competition was changed to FINA World Junior Artistic Swimming Championships for all subsequent editions (2018 and 2022).<ref name="TAP22Jul2017">[[The Associated Press]] (22 July 2017).
