Best Answer

The name "Cage the Elephant" has many different sources, according to the band. One explanation is that in Indian philosophies, the elephant is a symbol of strength and goodness, and the band wants to stand for people that want to capture or "cage" that idea. Matt Shultz is also quoted with saying that it came to him in a dream, or he saw it on the back of a cereal box. In another interview, Matt has also said that he went to have his fortune told and the psychic started screaming, "Cage the elephant!" over and over.

The truth is, no one really knows for sure, other than the band. And some say that they haven't got a clue either....
