Angus and Malcolm Young developed the idea for the band's name after seeing a label with the acronym "AC/DC" on the back of a sewing machine owned by their older sister, Margaret Young.
"AC/DC" is an abbreviation for "alternating current/direct current", which indicates that the electricity is being converted from alternating current (wall outlet) to direct current (sewing machine).
The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy, power-driven performances, and a love for their music.
In some cultures, "AC/DC" is a slang term for bisexuality; the band have said that they were not aware of this usage until it was brought to their attention by a taxi driver one night after a concert early in their career.
"AC/DC" is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band is popularly known as "Acca Dacca" in Australia.
