Name Origin:
There's been many rumors and different versions of their name origin,
but Stephen Christian said the "real" name came from the
Radiohead
song
Everything in Its Right Place,
saying that:
"There are several stories that have circulated on the internet, but the actual story is when I was in
college my favorite band was Radiohead; on one of their songs off the record Kid A there is a
background noise on the song "Everything in Its Right Place"
(about 2 minutes 31 seconds into the song).
While Thom is singing 'try to say' I always thought the background noise sounded like 'Anberlin',
I always thought that Anberlin would have been a great band name and well...it was/is."
