A popular belief is that the drink was named after Morrison's former employer in Texas, but this has been disputed by the Dr Pepper company itself. They state that before moving to Texas, Morrison lived in Virginia near a Dr. Charles T. Pepper, and may have been close to Pepper's daughter at the time. The name is also reinforced by being an obvious play on "pep", i.e. providing quick energy to its consumer.

The Dr. Pepper company claims that it was named by Wade Morrison, owner of Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas where the drink first became popular.
