Angus and Malcolm Young claim they developed 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. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy and power-driven performances, and the name stuck.[7][8]

AC/DC - It is said that one of the band member saw it on an appliance and thought it had something to do with power. (It does mean "alternating current / direct current".) The band used it not realizing it was also slang for a bisexual- the band claims NOT to be bisexual
In the vogue of other anti-everything bands it stands for Against Christ/Devil's Children.

Alternate current/direct current. Just like in electricity. It does NOT stand for Against Christ/Devil's Children or whatever the rumor is.

Alot of poeple say that it means Anit-Christ Devil Child or that they go both ways (being bisexual.) But it really means Alternating Current/Direct Current. It has something to do with how they play. Don't listen to all these crazy rumors.

"gradual experience" by means of Foghat.......great classic rock music, yet i'm undecided if the band ever did the rest relatively worth a d*mn. "invariably" by means of Papa Roach.....even however this band falls right into a form full of artists that I frequently like, i've got purely continually felt that they've been excessively predictable or cheesy. even however i think of this music is notably catchy, consistent with possibility as a results of fact it would not sound like them. "Puritana" by means of Dimmu Borgir......i ought to in no way get into black metallic, yet this music is depraved and heavy and that i like it a lot.

Alternate Current/ Direct Current or if you want the psycho parent one, then that would be Anti Christ/ Devil Child.
Master why: Who cares, close enough.
