In 1917, the district was renamed Lumphuk after its central sub-district.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=34|issue=ก|pages=40–68|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนชื่ออำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111107143904/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 7, 2011|date=1917-04-29|language=Thai}} In 1953 it was returned to its original name, Kham Khuean Kaeo.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=70|issue=25 ก|pages=492–496|script-title=th:พระราชกฤษฎีกาเปลี่ยนชื่ออำเภอและตำบลบางแห่ง พ.ศ. ๒๔๙๖|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2496/A/025/492.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524102931/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2496/A/025/492.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 24, 2012|date=1953-04-14|language=Thai}}
