The Jakes officially changed their name to Young the Giant in January 2010 during the production of their eponymous album. The group chose to name themselves after the “stupid boldness” of their youth that motivated their commitment to music; Gadhia was the one to suggest having the definite article “the” in the middle of the name rather than at the beginning, believing it to be novel and unique.
