Frontman Eddie Vedder has said that the name “Pearl Jam” was a tribute to his great-grandmother Pearl Brunner. Though, guitarist Mike McCready has said that Jeff Ament developed “Pearl” and that “Jam” was tacked on after seeing a Neil Young and Crazy Horse concert, during which they were “jamming.”
