Part of it is a reference to the small groups of string instruments that were popular in the UK at the time, called "light orchestras" because they were smaller than regular orchestras.

"Electric" nods to the electric instruments also used in the band's music, like guitar and moog.

One of the band's goals at the time of its creation was to wed classical and Rock Music, and the name "Electric Light Orchestra" that has elements of both.
