The iconic rock band AC/DC, known for classics like 'Highway to Hell,' got its name from a sewing machine's AC adapter as suggested by the Young brothers' sister-in-law, Margaret. The band members were brainstorming names for an upcoming New Year's Eve show when she shared the idea, which resonated with the group. They found it memorable, fitting for their electric music style and performances. The name has since become synonymous with hard rock, and fans often refer to the band as 'Acca Dacca' in Australia.
Founding members Angus Young and his brother Malcolm were brainstorming names for the band when their sister-in-law suggested AC/DC, inspired by her sewing machine's AC adapter.
Malcolm shared that their sister-in-law Margaret suggested the name AC/DC one night, and after tossing names around for weeks, the band liked it immediately.
