One Direction is a boy band formed for the purpose of competing in the 2010 edition of the BBC reality singing competition show The X-Factor. Harry Styles, lead singer of the band, came up with the name for it.
Harry Styles chose the name One Direction after Zayn Malik suggested whatever '5' is in Greek

What do you mean new name? the only name is One Direction
There is a band in the U.S. that is called 'One Direction' and they are suing the official popular UK band 'One Direction' for copying their name. They are also worried that they will get mixed up in the charts. There is talk that One Direction UK will have to change their name. At the moment they are thinking of 'Niall and the Potatoes' or 'The Brooke'.

there was another band from the US named one direction but then since the newer one direction is more popular, they got to keep the name.
they didnt get sued for a song but the name "One Direction" is already the name of another band :)
He was the one who came up with the name, One Direction.
