Good question, but I believe this: "Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after seeing the initialism "AC/DC" on a vacuum cleaner. "AC/DC" is an abbreviation for "alternating current/direct current". The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy, power-driven performances, and a love for their music. "AC/DC" is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band is popularly known as "Acca Dacca" in Australia" taken from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC/DC

Add to that, the first big album was called "High Voltage" - sure didn't come from a 9V anyway. :shock:

Yeah, I've always loved Southern Rock, never mentioned which Continents. :lol:
