Pink Floyd’s name was derived from the given names of two blues musicians that Syd Barrett had in his record collection—Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, Barrett created it on the spur of the moment, when he discovered that another band was using the same name “Tea Set” and were performing at one of their gigs.
