Angus and Malcolm Young claim they first got the idea for the band's name after seeing the acronym "AC/DC" on the back of a sewing machine owned by their sister, Margaret. AC/DC is an abbreviation for "Alternating Current/Direct Current" which indicates that an electrical device can use either type of power source. The Young brothers liked the way this name symbolized the band's raw energy and power-driven performances so the name stuck.[7][8]
