The actual origin of the name Anberlin is unclear. In multiple interviews, Stephen Christian (the lead singer of Anberlin) has dictated different origins for the name Anberlin.

One is that he was first planning on naming his daughter Anberlin, but he decided to the band Anberlin since he was struggling to come up with a name for it.

Another theory is that he was thinking of Europe and the cities he wanted to visit in it. In his mind he thought, "London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin." They later modified the name to Anberlin.

But, the theory that they stated was the real origin of their name Anberlin is that while Christian was lightening to a record in college ("Everything in its Right Place" by Radiohead) he heard Thom Yorke-the lead singer of Radiohead-sing "try to say", but it sounded to him like Anberlin.
