Credence as in Creedence Clearwater Revival is an intentional misspelling of the word credence, which means acceptance as true or valid. The rock band Creedence Clearwater took the three elements from, firstly, lead singer Tom Fogerty's friend Credence Newball, (to whose first name Credence they added an extra 'e', making it resemble a faith or creed); secondly, "clear water" from a TV commercial for Olympia beer; and finally "revival", which spoke to the four members' renewed commitment to their band.
