They chose their name after Chester Bennington noticed Lincoln Park in Santa Monica, California while driving past it after practice. The band members liked the sound of the name and decided to use it, but changed the spelling to secure the domain name. Before settling on Linkin Park, the band considered the names "Plear" and "Platinum Lotus Foundation". The band was originally known as Hybrid Theory, which was also the name of their first album. However, legal issues forced the band to abandon that name.

So glad they settled on linkin park lol, it's so much cooler than those other names 😁
It's because theres a Lincoln Park in every city. They wanted to feel close/local to everyone.
