I don't strictly doubt that ＊中京＊ does, but you need to supply some references.
Not a single kokugo includes that sense.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E4%BA%AC

Most kokugos just write "名古屋市の通称", Sankoku hints at a broader meaning: 名古屋市（とその一帯）。

See 中京圏:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E4%BA%AC%E5%9C%8F
「明治時代の中期に、名古屋駅が東海道本線、中央本線、関西鉄道（現在の関西本線）など鉄道の拠点となると、名古屋市を中心とする経済圏が形成されて、愛知県・岐阜県・三重県の東海3県に跨る圏域を中京圏（名古屋圏）と称するようになった。」

[...]

「圏域には、愛知県全域（尾張・三河）、岐阜県南部（美濃）、三重県北部（北勢）が含まれている[2]。」
