ACDC was formed by Angus Young and his older Malcolm Young in 1973 in Sydney. They got the name ACDC from the back of their sister Margeret's Sewing machine. It stands for: Alternating current/ Direct current.

AC/DC formed in 1973 , in Sydney, Australia, by brothers Malcolm & Angus young. The Young brothers began performing in bands when their family moved to Australia from Scotland in the late 1960,s . AC/DC underwent several personnel changes before finalizing the lineup that would eventually include Bon Scott, Phil Rudd, Cliff Williams, Malcolm Young , & Angus Young. ( see the AC/DC bio in Wikipedia for complete information). This lineup would last until February 18, 1980, when Bon Scott died at the age of 33 from alcohol poisoning. The myth that Scott died because he chocked to death on his own vomit persists to this day, despite the fact that there is apparently no evidence to support the claim that Scott chocked to death on his own vomit.

The Youngs' sister supposedly came to them with the name after seeing it on her sewing machine. It does NOT mean they were gay or bisexual
