Best Answer

In an interview the band said that they named themselves Tokio Hotel because they would love to go and perform in Tokyo and spelling it with an i is how it is spelt in German. They chose Hotel because it is an internationally recognised word, nowhere spells it differently. :)

___

Their previous name was Devilish, and because they were performing in Clubs and stuff under that name, they eventually got signed on to a record company. Later they ended up changing their name to Tokio Hotel. They chose the name because they all love the city Tokyo and they stay in hotels a lot.
