Joseph Elliott, a lead vocalist in Def Leppard, made a poster of with a jungle cat with a hearing horn in it's ear. He called it the Deaf Leppard. The band liked it so they shortened it to Def Leppard and used it as the bands name.

∙ 15y agoJoe Elliot simply proposed the name "Deaf Leopard", which was originally a band name he thought up while writing reviews for imaginary rock bands in his English class. At Tony Kenning's suggestion, the spelling was slightly modified in order to make the name seem less like that of a punk band and perhaps also as an indirect homage to Led Zeppelin.
