It's based on a book by Emily St John Mandel of the same name. Definitely worth a read if you like the series, it differs in a few ways but has the same heart as the show.

Saying, "That's the name of the book on which the show is based" doesn't really answer the question.

The reason it's titled Station Eleven is because one of the characaters in the book wrote a graphic novel titled "Station Eleven" that is integral to the plot of the book and show. That graphic novel gets its name from the central character (Dr. Eleven) who lives on a space station.
